Document Summary

Both hydrogen and oxygen have extremely low boiling points but when combined to form water, its boiling point is many degrees higher than the boiling points or hydrogen and oxygen. When two or more elements combine to form a compound, an entirely new substance results. A chemical bond is a force that holds atoms together in a compound. Chemical bonds form because they lower the potential energy of the charged particles that compose atoms. Only noble gases have full outer principal quantum levels. Because the rest of the elements do not possess the stability of the noble gases, they form chemical bonds to become more stable (to lower the potential energy of the charged particles that compose them) If interactions between particles lead to an overall net reduction of potential energy between charged particles, a chemical bond forms. Two types of chemical bonds: ionic bond, covalent bond.
