Document Summary

Elements combine together to make an almost limitless number of compounds. The properties of the compound are totally different from the constituent elements. Two general types of bonding between atoms found in compounds, ionic and covalent. Ionic bonds result when electrons have been transferred between atoms, resulting in oppositely charged ions that attract each other. Generally found when metal atoms bond to nonmetal atoms. Covalent bonds result when two atoms share some of their electrons. Compounds are generally represented with a chemical formula. The amount of information about the structure of the compound varies with the type of formula. All formula and models convey a limited amount of information - none are perfect representations. All chemical formulas tell what elements are in the compound. An empirical formula gives the relative number of atoms of each element in a compound. It does not describe how many atoms, the order of attachment, or the shape.
