Document Summary

Module 1 - a study of life and. Chemistry is an integral part of our everyday life because everything is made of chemicals and everything that happened is a result of their interaction - climate, mobile phones, transport, hereditary & evolution, food (protein, carbohydrates and vitamins) The chemical behavior of an atom is determined by its electron configuration. There are several factors to consider: the number of electrons, the number of electron shells, the number of electrons in the outer shells (and hence the number of valence electrons). A valence electron is an electron that is associated with an atom , that can participate in the formation of. A chemical bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valance electron in order to form a shared pair. Chemical bonds: there ate 2 types of chemical bonds. The choice is dependent on how strongly the atoms attract electrons.
