Draw 2 lines (one labeled ionic and the other covalent)

This style of line connects the atoms in an ionic bond drawing.

This style of line connects the atoms in a covalent bond drawing.

What is . . .

Ionic = arrow

Covalent = regular (connecting) line

100

In this type of bond, electrons are shared.

What is . . .

a covalent bond?

100

In this type of bond, electrons are given/taken.

What is . . .

an ionic bond?

100

The small numbers to the lower right of an element symbol such as the 2 in H2O are called this.

What is . . .

a subscript?

This type of animal is in a glass case in the lobby of North High.

What is . . .

a polar bear?

200

This is a Lewis structure model for 

K2O

What is . . .

check each other for two K atoms with one dot giving (arrow) to one O atom with 6 dots

200

This is the name for:

SO2

What is . . .

sulfur dioxide?

200

300

Of the following, this would be a covalent molecule:

NaCl

PbSO4

CF4

AlCl3

What is . . .

CF4?

(Because it has only non-metals)

300

This is the name of CuCl2

What is . . .

This is the formula for


tetraphosphorous pentasulfide

What is . . .

The official motto of Des Moines East High is

"For the service of __________________."

What is . . .

humanity?

This is the Lewis structure model for an NO2-1 ion.

What is . . .

Check each other for an N atom with 5 dots connected with lines to two O atoms that each have 6 dots.

The N atom will share 2 bonds with one O atom and 1 bond with the other O atom.  This leaves one O atom with an opening.  The group can still gain one more electron which makes this a polyatomic ion.
