Title: I. Elements combine to form compounds
1 I. Elements combine to form compounds
- A. Compounds have different properties from the
elements that make them. - 1. A compound is a substance made of atoms
- 2. A compound is made of two or more different
elements.
2I. Elements combine to form compounds
- 3. All compounds are held together by chemical
bonds. - a. Bonds can hold atoms together in large
networks - b. Small groups
- Bonds help determine the properties of a
compound. - 4. Properties of a compound depend not only on
which atoms the compound contains - 5. Also depend on how the atoms are arranged.
- a. Example would be carbon and hydrogen
- b. Arrangement and amount of each element
determines what gets created
3I. Elements combine to form compounds

carbon and hydrogen - _______________________

5I. Elements combine to form compounds
- B. Atoms combine in predictable numbers
- 1. A given compound always contains atoms of
elements in a specific ratio or combination. - 2. The arrangement and amount gives the compound
- a. Ammonia has three hydrogen to one nitrogen
- b. Hydrazoic acid contains one hydrogen to three
nitrogen - C. Chemical Formulas
- 1. A chemical formula uses chemical symbols from
the periodic table to represent the atoms of the
elements and their ratios in a chemical
compound.
6I. Elements combine to form compounds
- a. Carbon dioxide is a compound consisting of
one atom carbon - b. This is connected to two atoms of oxygen.
- 2. To write this as a chemical formula you
follow the steps. - a. Find the symbols for carbon and oxygen and
write them side by side - b. Indicate that there are 2 oxygen atoms for
every carbon atom and place the subscript 2 to
the right of the oxygens atoms symbol - c. A subscript is the number written to the
right of the chemical symbol and dropped down, or
slightly below it. - 3. Notice the charge on page 44. If there are
more then one for the same atom, that is when you
use a subscript.
7I. Elements combine to form compounds
- D. Same Elements, Different compounds.
- 1. The arrangement and number determines what
gets created. - 2. Compounds with the same elements can be very
different based on their combination and amounts
of these elements.
8II. Chemical bonds hold compounds together
- A. Chemical bonds between atoms involve
electrons - 1. Chemical bonds are the glue that holds the
atoms of elements together in compounds. - 2. Chemical bonds are what make compounds more
than just mixtures of atoms. - 3. Atoms have a positively charged nucleus
surrounded by a cloud of electrons - 4. Chemical bonds form when the electrons in the
electron clouds around two atoms interact.
9II. Chemical bonds hold compounds together
- 5. How the electron clouds interact determines
the kind of chemical bond that is formed. - 6. Chemical bonds have a great effect on the
chemical and physical properties of compounds. - Chemical bonds also influence how different
substances interact. - B. Atoms can transfer electrons.
- 1. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose
electrons - 2. Gaining electrons changes an atom into a
negative ion
10II. Chemical bonds hold compounds together
- 3. Losing electrons changes the atom into a
positive ion - 4. Ions typically form in pairs when one atoms
transfers one or more electrons to another atom. - 5. Elements location on the periodic table
gives clues as to what type of ions the atoms of
that element will form. - 6. All metals lose electrons to form positive
ions - a. Group 1 metals usually lose electron to form
ions with a single positive charge. (Li, Na,
K, Rb, Cs, Fr ) - Group 2 metals commonly lose 2 electrons to form
ions with a positive 2 charge. (Be2, Mg2, Ca2,
Sr2, Ba2, Ra2,) - Transition meals, always form a positive ion, but
the number of electrons they may lose varies
11II. Chemical bonds hold compounds together
- 7. Nonmetals form ions by gaining electrons
- a. Group 17 nonmetals gain one to form a -1
charge. ( F-, Cl-, Br-, I-) - b. Group 16 gain 2 electrons to form a -2 charge
(O-2, S-2, Se-2) - C. Ionic bonds
- a. When group 1 reacts with group 17, an
electron moves from one atom (sodium) to another
atom (chlorine) - b. Force of attraction between a positive and
negative ion is called an ionic bond.
12II. Chemical bonds hold compounds together
- 2. Electrical forces act in all directions, each
ion, therefore attracts all other nearby ions
with the opposite charge. - 3. These interactions make ionic compounds very
stable and their crystals very strong. - D. Names of Ionic Compounds
- 1. The name for a positive ion is the same as
the name of the atom from which it is formed. - 2. The name of a negative ion is formed by
dropping the last part of the name of the atom
and adding the suffix ide.
13II. Chemical bonds hold compounds together
- 3. To name an ionic compound the name of the
positive ion is placed first - 4. Next comes the name fo the negative ion.
- a. Sodium and Chlorine
- b. Na and Chlorine-
- c. Sodium chloride
- 5. BaI2
- a. Barium and iodide
- b. Barium iodide
14II. Chemical bonds hold compounds together
- E. Atoms can share electrons
- 1. An ionic bond forms between atoms that lose
electrons and gain electrons - 2. Another way is when bonds are held together
by sharing electrons. - F. When bonds are held together by sharing, they
are called Covalent Bonds - 1. Neither atom gains or loses electrons
- 2. Shared electrons are attracted to both
positively charged nuclei. - 3. Electron clouds overlap.
- 4. Often represented by a line between two atoms
15II. Chemical bonds hold compounds together
- 5. Number of covalent bonds that can form
depends on the number or electrons that it has
available for sharing. - a. Halogen groups (17) and hydrogen can
contribute only one electron to a covalent bond - b. Group 17 can form 2 covalent bonds
- c. Atoms of group 15 can form 3
- d. Carbon and silicon can form 4 bonds
- 1.) Example CH4 , Methane gas
- 2. )Carbon forms 4 covalent bonds with four
hydrogen
16II. Chemical bonds hold compounds together
- 6. Sometimes atoms may share more than one pair
of electrons with another atom - a. Carbon in CO2 ( carbon dioxide) forms double
bonds with each of the oxygen atoms. - b. A double bond consists of four (2 pair of)
shared electrons - c. Two nitrogen atoms form a triple bond,
meaning they share six (three pairs of )
electrons - 7. A group of atoms held together by a covalent
bond is called a molecule - 8. Most molecules can contain the atoms of two
or more elements
17II. Chemical bonds hold compounds together
- G. Polar Covalent Bonds
- 1. A covalent bond which the electrons are
shared unequally is called a polar covalent bond. - 2. The word polar refers to anything that has
two extremes, like a magnet with 2 opposite
poles.
18III. Substances properties depend on their bonds
- A. Metals have unique bonds
- 1. Metal atoms bond together by sharing
electrons with one another - 2. The atoms share the electrons equally in all
directions - 3. The equal sharing allows the electrons to
move easily among the atoms of the metal - 4. This special type of bond is called a
metallic bond - 5. Properties of metals determined by metallic
bonds
19III. Substances properties depend on their bonds
- 6. Being good conductors, electrons in metals
flow through the material, carrying the electric
current as well as making them good conductors of
heat too. - 7. Except for mercury, all metals are solids at
room temperature. - 8. The metallic bond, atoms can slide past one
another. This allows them to be drawn into wire
as well as pounded into metals sheets. - 9. The atoms can simply slide into other
positions .
20III. Substances properties depend on their bonds
- B. Ionic and covalent bonds give compounds
certain properties - 1. Ionic compounds have extremely high melting
and boiling points - 2. These points require a lot o energy to break
all the bonds among the ions in a crystal. - 3. The crystal network also makes ionic
compounds the following - a. ) Hard
- b. )Brittle
- c.) Poor conductors of electricity
21III. Substances properties depend on their bonds
- 4. Ionic compounds dissolve easily in water
separating into positive and negative ions. - 5. The separation makes them good conductors of
electricity - 6. Yellowstone mineral hot springs are also ionic
solutions. - 7. Covalent compounds have almost exact opposite
properties. - 8. Covalent compounds have lower melting and
boiling points - 9. Covalent compounds are poor conductors of
electricity and stay together when dissolved in
water
22III. Substances properties depend on their bonds
- C. Bonds can makes the same element look
different - 1. Carbon can exist as different properties
based on how the atoms are bonded. - a. Diamonds- carbon forms covalent bonds with
four other atoms in a three dimensional pattern
giving it its strength. - b. Graphite- forms covalent bonds with there
other atoms to make 2dimensional layers. - c. Fullerene- has a molecule shaped like a
soccer ball.
