In your lab notebook, please answer as best you can:
1. Which subatomic particles are involved in chemical reactions?
• VALENCE electrons (electrons in the outermost energy level)
2. A molecule in which electrons are shared by two or more atoms
has which type of bond? (ionic, covalent, hydrogen, or metallic)
• Covalent bond
3. Draw a Bohr Model diagram of a
stable, neutral Lithium atom.
4. Draw a Lewis Dot Structure of a
stable, neutral Lithium atom.
5. What makes for a happy atom (stable/unreactive)?
• Paired electrons and full energy levels (filled valence electron shell)
Bonus Question: What are the building blocks of matter?
Atoms

Physical Properties of Water
Polar Molecules
• Some covalent molecules don’t share electrons equally
• O in water (H2O) has a greater pull on the shared electrons than H
• Oxygen has 8 protons compared to hydrogen’s 1
• Electrons spend more time around the oxygen
• The O side of the molecule then has a slightly more negative
charge than the H sides
