After completing this unit, you will be able to:
differentiate how atoms form ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds
name ionic compounds containing main group or transition metals, covalent compounds, acids, and bases, using International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature rules
write the chemical formulas of ionic compounds containing representative elements, transition metals and common polyatomic ions, covalent compounds, acids and bases
construct electron dot formulas to illustrate ionic and covalent bonds
describe metallic bonding and explain metallic properties such as thermal and electrical conductivity, malleability, and ductility
classify molecular structure for molecules with linear, trigonal planar, and tetrahedral electron pair geometries as explained by using Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory
