Why are compounds formed?

• Compounds are higher energy (less stable) than the individual atoms

• Compounds are lower energy (more stable) than the individual atoms

• No one knows why compounds would form

What are valence electrons?

• Total number of electrons in the atom

• Outermost electrons

• Electrons that have been gained or lost by the atom

What is the main difference between ionic and covalent bonding?

• Ionic bonding involves the sharing of electrons, while covalent bonding involves the transfer of electrons.

• Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons, while covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.

• Both ionic and covalent bonding involve the sharing of electrons.

• Both ionic and covalent bonding involve the transfer of electrons.

Two nonmetals from Region 3 combine. This is most likely a ​ (a)  

• covalent bond

• ionic bond

• james bond

Match the following descriptions to the type of bond.

Occurs between two nonmetals - (a)  

Occurs between a metal and a nonmetal - (b)  

• Covalent bond

• Ionic bond

Match the following

• ionic

• unequal sharing of electrons

• non-polar covelant

• equal sharing of electrons
