• Activity: Nitrogen Triiodide
  1. Notes
     1. Provide the electron configurations and Lewis Dot Diagrams for nitrogen and iodine.
     2. Do nitrogen and iodine form an ionic or covalent bond? Explain using electron configurations and Lewis Dots.
     3. Which atom is larger, nitrogen or iodine? Explain using electron configuration.
  2. Whiteboard
     1. Make a model of Nitrogen Triiodide using balloons, tape, and a small ball.
     2. Draw your model one one side of your whiteboard, labeling the atoms as either N or I.
     3. Using yoru drawing, hypothesize why Nitrogen Triiodide is so explosive on the other side of the whiteboard.
