Combining Atoms Through Chemical Bonding - Everything is made of atoms of elements. - Atoms of different elements combine in different patterns. - Chemical bonding is the joining of atoms to form new substances. - Properties of the new substances are different from the properties of the original elements. - An interaction that holds two atoms together is called a chemical bond Discussing Bonding Using Models Atoms are very complex so we use models to discuss how and why atoms form bonds. Simple models that are used to discuss electrons in an atom dont show all the details of the structure of the atom or chemical bond.

Chapter 8 Section 1: Electrons and Chemical Bonding

Define chemical bonding. How do new substances formed from bonding differ from the original element? Define chemical bond.

PS1: The results of chemical bonding form new substances that have different properties than the original elements. Chemical bonds form when electrons are shared, gained, or lost. Electron Number and Organization - The atomic number tells you the number of protons and electrons in an atom. - Models do not show the true structure of atoms. Outer- Level Electrons and Bonding Most atoms form bonds only in the outermost energy level. An electron in the outermost energy level in an atom is a valence electron. Valence Electrons and the Periodic Table

Define valence electron.

You can use the periodic table to find the number of valence electrons. Atoms in the same family have the same number of valence electrons.

PS2: A valence electron is an electron in the outermost energy level of an atom. Atoms that have the same number of valence electrons are grouped in the same families on the periodic table. To Bond or Not To Bond Why do some atoms not bond? - Not all atoms bond in the same way. - Atoms of noble gases (Group 18) do not usually bond. - Atoms that have eight electrons in their outermost level are nonreactive. Filling the Outermost Level Atoms that have fewer than eight valence electrons usually form bonds by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons. Are Two Electrons a Full Set? Helium only has two electrons so the energy level is already full. Also form bonds by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons.

How do atoms bond with other atoms?

PS3: Some atoms dont bond because their outermost levels are filled. Atoms form bonds when they gain, lose, or share electrons until they have eight valence electrons. Summary: Atoms share, gain, or lose electrons when chemical bonds form. The results of chemical bonding form new substances that have different properties than the original elements. Chemical bonds form when electrons are shared, gained, or lost. A valence electron is an electron in the outermost energy level of an atom. Atoms that have the same number of valence electrons are grouped in the same families on the periodic table. Some atoms dont bond because their outermost levels are filled.
