Unit 6
Ionic & Molecular Compounds
November 18-December 13
(4 weeks)
Essential Question(s):
How are compounds classified in nature?
What is a polyatomic ion?
How does chemistry relate to the fractional distillation of crude oil?
How do ions lose, share, or gain electrons?
Standard(s):
Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.
Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs.
"I can" Statements:

- Write the correct formula for ionic compounds.
- Write the correct names for polyatomic ions.
- Write the correct name/formula for molecular compounds.
Reinforcement Activity:
