Document Summary

Ionization energy: minimum energy needed to remove an electron from an atom in its ground state. Compounds and chemical bonds: when two or more elements combine to form a compound, an entirely new substance emerges. 3 basic types of chemical bonds: ionic bonds = ionic compounds, transfer of electrons, covalent bonds = molecular compounds sharing electrons, metallic. A chemical formula shows the type of elements present and relative number of atoms or ions of each. 3 types of chemical formulas: a molecular formula gives the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecular compound. H2o (water), h2o2 (hydrogen peroxide: an empirical formula gives the relative number of atoms of each element in a compound (simplest ratio) H2o (water), ho (hydrogen peroxide: a structural formula is a sketch or diagram of how the atoms in the molecule are bonded to each other (does not indicate actual geometry)
