  Bill Nye video   List 4 chemical reactions from the video.

  What gas was responsible for making our Pop Rockets pop?

Why do atoms form bonds?   Atoms form bonds…

  to become more stable.

  The most stable atoms are the noble gases   They have 8 valence electrons   All other atoms want to be like the noble gases

Why do atoms form bonds?   The octet rule is…

  oct- means 8   Like octagon & octopus

  that all atoms want to have 8 valence electrons
