Study Notes
Kössel-Lewis Approach to Chemical Bonding
- Chemical bonding occurs due to attractive forces between constituent atoms, ions, or molecules.
- Atoms combine to form molecules to achieve stability.
- The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a stable configuration with eight electrons in their valence shell, similar to noble gases.
- The number of valence electrons in an atom is directly related to its group valence.
