What are "metals"?

Name the following covalent compounds (1-4) and write the chemical formula for compounds 5-7. Remember covalent compounds include ONLY NON METALS that SHARE non paired valence electrons in their outer most shells. The prefix mono is only used in the second element of the compound. See the periodic table below that identifies valence electrons in each group/family (column). 

  1. ClF3
  2. PCl5
  3. SO2
  4. N2O5
  5. CO
  6. carbon tetrafluoride
  7. selenium dichloride
  8. sulfur trioxide




What are...?

  1. chlorine trifluoride
  2. phosphorus pentachloride
  3. sulfur dioxide
  4. dinitrogen pentoxide
  5. carbon monoxide

  6. CF4

  7. SeCl2

  8. SO3

Covalent and Ionic bonds

1. Which compounds are covalent?

2. Which compounds are ionic?



What are....?

1. covalent compounds (non metals only): CH4, I2, C4, H2O, 

2. ionic compounds (metals with non metals):BeCl2, KNO3, Fe2O3

A student is examining a solid piece of the element sulfur. What is the smallest component that defines this material being sulfur
What is an atom?

The horizontal row on the periodic table is called a(n

What is period?

200

Which statement best describes the difference between the elements in group 2 and group 18 in the periodic table?

What is "2 are reactive metals, and 18 are unreactive gases"?

200

Name the following ionic compounds. REMEMBER, ionic compounds do not use the greek prefixes like covelent compounds. Ionic bonds form when a metal (in most cases) loses one or more electrons of their valence shell) and give them to a non metal. See the periodic table below to observe the trend of the unpaired valence electrons that are either lost (+) or gained (-).

  1. CaCl2
  2. AlF3
  3. KCl
  4. MgO
  5. Zinc bromide
  6. Aluminum oxide
  7. Calcium phosphide




What are...

1. Calcium chloride

2. Aluminum fluoride

3. Potassium chloride

4. Magnesium oxide

5. ZnBr2

6. Al2O3

7. Ca3P2

Ionization means how much energy is needed for an element to lose an electron, meaning to become a cation. Look at the 2 table below. Which element has the lowest ionization energy (meaning it loses its unpaired valence electrons without a lot of energy), and which element has the highest ionization energy (meaning, it loses its unpaired valence electrons but with a very high amount of energy).


What is Francium has the lowest ionization energy, it becomes a cation very easily. Fluorine has the highest ionization energy, it is incredibly difficult for it to become a cation?

Balance the following chemical equations:

*** Remember to count the number of atoms in each compound before and after the chemical reaction and include the appropriate coefficients.
