The ability of the atom to attract toward itself the electrons in a chemical bond is known as electronegativity
The capacity of an atom to form chemical bonds is known as valency
When an electron is added to or removed from an atom, the atom becomes an ion
In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation
In ionic bonds, the nonmetal accepts electrons to become a negatively charged anion
Covalent bond - is the type of bond was formed if the bond occurs primarily between non-metals
- It takes place when atoms share electrons with one another.
- Properties of covalent compounds are low melting point, low boiling point and more flammable
o Example: Silicon and Oxygen react to form Silicon Dioxide. This compound will have low melting
point, insoluble in water, doesn’t conduct electricity even when molten
Non polar covalent bond – the value of the covalent bond is between 0-0.4
- involves equal sharing of electrons.
- Examples:
o type of bond was formed between two Nitrogen elements to form Nitrogen gas
Polar covalent bond - the value of the covalent bond is between 0.5-1.9
- involves unequal sharing of electrons

Organic compounds are group of compounds that contain the element carbon.
The maximum number of bonds can a carbon atom form is 4.
Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen combined with other elements namely oxygen, nitrogen,
phosphorous, sulfur, and halogens
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen atoms only. Hydrocarbons such as
methane, ethane and butane are components of natural gas. Hydrocarbons are grouped into families namely,
alkanes, alkenes and alkynes.
The organic compound used as solvent and nail polish remover is acetone
Formalin or formaldehyde is used to preserve an animal.
Kerosene and ethyl alcohol. Flammable liquids such as kerosene is used as fuel for lamps (gasera) and portable
stove (kusinilya). Although ethyl alcohol is also flammable, it is not used as fuel for stoves or lamps only. It is
also used as a component of biofuels for vehicles, as an ingredient for liquors, and as a disinfectant.
One mole of different kinds of substances has the same number of particles but different masses.
Importance of mole:
It is useful when converting between grams and atoms or molecules
It can be applied to any type of object: molecules, atoms, ions, etc.
It gives us a convenient way to express large numbers
Mole concept can be useful for environmentalists - they use mole in quantifying the amount of pollutant-particles
released in the atmosphere.
Ways can you make use of the concept on percentage composition are:
- preparation of food (baking and cooking)
- preservation of food
- production of paste, paint, and alloy
