Which loses a proton more readily: a methyl group bonded to cyclohexane or a methyl

02 – 02 – 18 CHAPTER 3 – Elements and Compounds Elements and compounds Chemical bonds Forces of attraction between atoms Comes from attraction between protons and electrons Bond types  Ionic When electrons have been transferred between atoms = oppositely charged ions o Combination of cations and anions o Formula is always the same as the empirical o Cation + anion charges = 0  Covalent Electrons shared Formulas describe compounds Know how to differentiate the name of the compound, the empirical formula and the molecular formula  Empirical formula does not really tell you much about the properties, just the ratio Ionic VS Molecular Compounds  A molecular compound o Propane – indiv
