Fill in the correct words for the following statement:

When forming ions, metals tend to _____ electrons, while nonmetals tend to _____ electrons.

1. gain

2. lose

300

Draw the Lewis dots structure for CaCl2

This is an ionic compound, therefore, you will need to include brackets on the drawing.

Attach is a picture of a water molecule. Explain why this molecule is considered to be polar covalent:

Water is held together by covalent bonds (intramolecular force)

Hydrogens are partially positive while the oxygen is partially negative (2 lone pairs)

Explain the difference of a covalent and an ionic compound:

Covalent Compound: two or more nonmetallic atoms that share electrons to form a bond

Ionic Compound: two or more atoms (metal/nonmetals) transfers electrons to form a bond

400

Determine the geometry of the center atom circled in green:

 

Trigonal Planar

400

Which of the following molecules have the same empirical formula:

CCl4 and C2Cl6

CH and C6H6
