Bell ringer: Write the names for NiCl2, MgCl2, and OCl2
Drawing covalent bonds (continued)
Covalent bonds practice 2 (due Tuesday)
Draw the movement of electrons, write the formula, and write the name for the following combinations of elements:
1. Carbon and Oxygen
2. Sulfur and Bromine
3. Silicon and Fluorine
4. Nitrogen and Oxygen
5. Phosphorus and Sulfur
Metallic bonds
Cross between ionic and covalent compounds
Atoms group together, similar shape to a network
Outer layers of electrons overlap, and are shared with neighbors
Electrons are shared between ALL atoms, and can flow freely
Metals conduct electricity and are flexible because their atoms and electrons can move freely throughout the metal's structure
Polyatomic Ions
Breaking down the word:
Poly = many
Atomic = made of atoms
Ion = body that has a non-zero charge
Molecules with a charge
Stick together as a group (behave like a single unit), can bond with other ions
Many common examples
NaHCO3 = baking soda
Na2CO3 = used to make soaps and cleaners
Oppositely charged polyatomic ions can bond together to make larger compounds
(NH4)2SO4
Use parentheses to separate a polyatomic ion from the rest
