COMPOUNDS
Recall: All matter is made up of atoms. Atoms are unstable when they have a valence shell that is
not full. In order to obtain a full outer shell and become stable (i.e. fulfill the octet rule), atoms
can transfer or share electrons to form compounds.
IONIC COMPOUNDS
1. and atoms are each other
2. Atoms valence electrons to achieve a outer shell
(become stable).
3. Atoms are now (charged)
4. The positive and negative ions are
to each other
5. An forms.

PROPER LEWIS NOTATION:
COVALENT COMPOUNDS
1. and atoms are each other
2. Atoms valence electrons to achieve a outer shell (become
stable).
3. Atoms now
4. The atoms are held together by the
of the shared
electrons to the positive of each
atom.
5. An forms as a result of
the bond.
PROPER BOHR NOTATION
PROPER LEWIS NOTATION
This is why some atoms exist as diatomic molecules! Remember H O F B R I N Cl S
LEWIS DIAGRAMS
Show only the valence electrons of an atom or ion.
- Use the group #’s to identify how many valence electrons there are
Place them around the atom one at a time, then pair up if there are more than 4
In covalent compounds, SHARED ELECTRONS are represented by a line instead.
