10. Complete the following chart by using the formula of each compound to identify the
elements that each compound contains and the number of atoms of each of these elements
in a unit of the compound. The first formula has been done for you.
Formula Element 1 Element 2 Element 3

Circle the term or phrase that makes each statement true.
13. The properties of a compound are (the same as, different from) the properties of the
elements that make up the compound.
14. Na and Cl are chemical (symbols, formulas)
15. NaCl and NaOH are chemical (symbols, formulas).
16. In the formula H2O, the number 2 is a (subscript, superscript)
17. The number 2 in the formula H2O tells you that each unit of this compound contains
two (hydrogen, oxygen).
18. If a symbol is a chemical formula does not have a subscript after it, a unit of that
compound contains (no atoms, one atom) of that element.
19. The total number of atoms in Fe2O3 is (two, five, six).
20. There are (three, seven, ten) different elements in H2SO4.
21. An atom is chemically stable if its outer energy level (is filled with eight, contains no)
electrons, with the exception of hydrogen, helium, beryllium, lithium, and boron.
22. For atoms of most noble gases and most other elements, the outer energy level is full
when it has (3,8) electrons.
23. The noble gases do no readily form compounds because they (are, are not) chemically
stable.
24. A chemical bond is a (force, chemical) that holds atoms together in a compound.
25. Chemical bonds form when atoms lose, gain, or (share, multiply) electrons.
