Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Compound: elements bonded in fixed ratio Example: sodium (Na)+ chlorine (Cl) sodium chloride (NaCl) Elements can combine to form compounds
6
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 2 Bonds Ionic – exchanging electrons Covalent – sharing electrons nonpolar covalent = equal sharing polar covalent = unequal sharing
7
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings –oxygen end of the molecule slightly (-) charged –hydrogen end of the molecule is slightly (+) charged –Water = polar molecule water molecule, oxygen stronger pull on the shared electrons than hydrogen Figure 2.9 (–) O (+) HH
