Which of the following best describes a chemical bond?

• It is the force that holds atoms together in a compound.

• It shows what elements a compound contains and its exact ratios.

• It shows only the element symbol and the element's valence electrons.

Look closely at the elements listed. Categorize them based on HOW they will gain stability (in terms of electron movement) in a chemical bond.

Groups:

(a) Gain Electron(s)

,

(b) Lose Electron(s)

• Oxygen
