Atoms, Elements and Compounds
Today we are starting a new unit in Chemistry. For today’s Do Now, I want you
to think about what you already know about this topic.
Share some information you already know about matter and atoms!

Not only humans and other
animals bond.
Atoms bond too to become
energetically more stable.
Types of bonding
➢ Ionic bonding: between metals and non-metals (or cations and anions)

shells!
Draw the ionic bonding diagram of calcium oxide (CaO) and calcium fluoride (CaF2).
✓ Remember to draw electronic diagrams
✓ Find out if atoms gain/lose electrons
✓ Link electrons from cations to anions
