What to Focus On

  • Chemical bonding holds atoms together.
  • Atoms combine to become more stable and lower in energy.
  • Noble gases are stable because their valence shells are complete.

  • Octet rule means 8 electrons in the valence shell.
  • Hydrogen and lithium follow the duplet rule.
  • Some compounds have incomplete octets.

  • Chemical bonds can be ionic, covalent, coordinate, or metallic.
  • Ionic bonds form by electron transfer.
  • Covalent bonds form by equal sharing of electrons.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Ionic compounds exist as separate molecules, so NaCl has a molecular formula.

Any compound made from a metal and a non-metal must be ionic.

Octet rule always applies to every atom, so all atoms must end with eight electrons in the outer shell.
