What is a BOND? CHEMICAL BOND: INTRAMOLECULAR FORCE that holds one atom to another in a compound The energy stored in a bond is potential energy Why do atoms BOND? Atoms bond together to get 8 valence electrons to become STABLE (Stable Octet) Exception: Hydrogen can only have 2 (stable duet) FORMING A BOND Energy is RELEASED (EXOTHERMIC) spontaneously Forms a STABLE compound BREAKING A BOND Energy is ABSORBED (ENDOTHERMIC) Stability decreases Ex. Ripping two apart requires ENERGY BARF: REMEMBER Break, Absorb; Release, Form.
