II. Basic Chemisty A. Matter - made of atoms More than one type of atom bonded to others = compound
B. Bonds 1. hold atoms to other atoms 2. ionic: held by opposite charges 3. covalent: held by shared pairs of electrons
C. Bonding 1. determined by valence electrons 2. every spot with a single electron is where a covalent bond forms 3. dot diagrams include symbol & dots for valence e-
D. Drawing molecules= structural formula 1. atoms represented by symbols and bond by lines 2. do not show unshared pairs of e- 3. double bonds = 2 lines 4. triple bonds = 3 lines
