Name the following compound: LiF. Why is it an ionic compound?
Lithium Fluoride It is an ionic compound because the first part of the name is a metal ion whereas the second part of the name is a non-metal ion.
100

Name the following compound: CO. Why is it a covalent compound?

Carbon monoxide. It is a covalent compound because both parts of the name are non-metals.

100
What are two ways to tell that a chemical reaction has occurred?
1) change in energy 2) change in colour (products is different colour from reactants) 3) gas is formed (bubbles, odour) 4) precipitate is formed (solid subtance when two clear solutions are mixed)

Quick learning check: What is the difference between an ionic compound and a covalent compound?

Ionic compounds= first part of the name is a metal ion whereas the second part of the name is a non-metal. Covalent compounds= both parts of the name are non-metals.

What's the difference between a chemical and a physical change?

Chemical changes involve rearranging of chemical bonds and are irreversible

Physical changes don't make or break chemical bonds and are reversible.

Balance the following equation: ___ K + ___ Br(2) ----> ___ KBr
2 K + Br(2) ----> 2 KBr
400

What happens to electrons in ionic bonding?

They are donated or accepted (given or taken)

400
Name the following compound: NaBr
Sodium bromide
400

Write the chemical formula for Carbon dioxide

CO2

400

The law of conservation of mass states that...

For chemical reactions this means...

matter is neither created nor destroyed, so in a chemical reaction all atoms of the reactants must be present in the products

400
Balance the following chemical equation: ___ S + ___ O(2) ----> ___ SO(3)
2 S + 3O(2) ----> 2 SO(3)
500
Identify the elements that make up the compound NaCl. How many atoms of each element are there?
Elements: Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl). There is one atom of each.
500
Write the chemical formula of potassium sulfide.
K(2)S
500

Name the following compound: NO. Is this a covalent compound?

Nitrogen monoxide. Yes it is a covalent compound because both nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) are non-metals.

500

Is breaking bonds an endothermic or exothermic process

endothermic

(requires energy put in)
