At the completion of this unit, students will be able to...
1. Identify metallic bonds and how they account for the properties of metals.
2. Explain how ionic and covalent bonds form.
3. Determine if an ionic or covalent bond will form between two atoms by using their locations on the periodic table and use their difference in electronegativity values to further classify if the covalent bond is polar or non-polar and visually represent the dipole.
4. Draw Lewis dot structures for ionic compounds and simple molecules and polyatomic ions.
5. Use VSEPR (valence-shell electron-pair repulsion) Theory to predict the molecular geometry and polarity of molecules and polyatomic ions.
6. Name and write the chemical formulas for ionic compounds, including those with polyatomic ions, as well as molecular compounds.
7. Calculate the percent composition of compounds.
8. Determine the empirical and molecular formulas of ionic and molecular compounds.
9. Explain the meaning of the laws of definite proportions, multiple proportions and conservation of mass.
