Document Summary

O2 must be present for combustion to occur. When put together chemically to form h2o, a radically different compound is made. Compounds are composed of atoms held together by chemical bonds. Ionic bonds- transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Covalent bonds- sharing of electrons between two atoms. Chemical formula- indicates the elements present in a compound and the relative number of atoms or ions of each. Empirical formula- gives the relative number of atoms of each element in a compound. Molecular formula- gives the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule of a compound. Structural formula- uses lines to represent covalent bonds and shows how atoms in a molecule are connected or bonded to each other. Molecular models- more accurate way to specify a compound. Ball-and-stick models: represent atoms as balls and chemical bonds as sticks. Space-filling molecular models: atoms fill the space between each other to more closely represent our best estimates.
