35 views3 pages

Document Summary

Hydrogen: explosive gas used as fuel in rocket engines, low boiling point. Oxygen: not flammable but must be present for combustion, low boiling point. Water is nothing like the hydrogen and oxygen from which it was formed. Compounds can have very different properties from the elements by which it was formed. Compounds are composed of atoms held together by chemical bonds. Ionic bonds: occur between metals and nonmetals, involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Covalent bonds: occur between two or more nonmetals, involve the sharing of electrons between two atoms. Ionic compound: the solid phase is composed of a lattice of alternating cations and anions. Shared electrons have lower potential energy because they interact with the nuclei of both atoms. 3. 3 representing compounds: chemical formulas and molecular models. Chemical formula: indicates which elements are present in the compound and the relative number of atoms or ions of each.
