Document Summary

Most elements are found in compounds combined with other elements. Elements combine in 2 general ways involving the electrons of interacting elements: Ionic compounds: the transfer of electrons from one element to another. Covalent compounds: the sharing of electrons between elements. Chemical bonds- the forces that hold atoms together in a compound: the formation of ionic compounds. Ions- charged particles that form when an atom gains or loses electrons. Binary ionic compounds- simplest type of ionic compound, composed of 2 elements. Typically forms when a metal reacts with a nonmetal. Each metal atom loses one or more electrons. Each nonmetal gains an electron lost by the metal atoms. Metal atoms transfer electrons to the nonmetals, which causes the new anions and cations to be attracted to each other. Monatomic ion- an anion or cation derived from a single atom. All binary compounds are solid arrays of oppositely charged ions.
