EQ: Why do atoms form chemical bonds?
2
What is a Compound? Substance made of the combined atoms of two or more elements
3
What is a Chemical Formula?
Tells what elements a compound contains and the exact number of the atoms of those elements

Why is bonding important?
Atoms form compounds to become chemically stable. An atom is chemically stable when the outer energy level is complete or full.
