Chapter Sixteen: Compounds 16.1 Chemical Bonds 16.2 Chemical Formulas 16.3 Molecules
2
CHEMICAL BONDING Occurs when 2 or more atoms combine Can be from the same element (O 2 ) or different elements (NaCl) Atoms combine so that they each have a total of 8 valence electrons (full octet)
3
16.1 Valence electrons Chemical bonds are formed only between the electrons in the highest unfilled energy level. These electrons are called valence electrons.
4
16.1 Valence electrons and the periodic table Going from left to right across a period each new element has one more valence electron than the one before it (A group). How many valence electrons does nitrogen have?
5
16.1 Lewis dot diagrams A clever way to keep track of valence electrons is to draw Lewis dot diagrams. A dot diagram shows the element symbol surrounded by one to eight dots representing the valence electrons. What is the dot structure for nitrogen?
