Document Summary

To attain the same number of electrons as the nearest noble gas. Whichever is easier to do, gain or lose e"s. Atoms gain or lose electrons to attain the same number of electrons as the nearest noble gas. Na na+ + e- 10 electrons (same as ne) Cl + e- cl- 18 electrons (same as ar) Metals generally lose electrons and form cations. Nonmetals generally gain electrons and form anions. Groups 1a-3a lose electrons = group number. Groups non-metals gain electrons = 8 - group number. Assemblies of two or more atoms tightly bound together. This package of atoms behaves like a single distinct object. Mp/bp = 54. 36 k / 90. 20 k. Mp/bp = 80. 7 k / 161. 3 k. A compound is always a molecule but a molecule isn"t always a compound. Empirical (or simplest) formula - gives only the relative number of atoms of each type in a molecule.
