Discuss Ch. 1 Test (some make ups)
Formative Assessment: Using the periodic table in your book, how many protons,
neutrons, and electrons does sodium have? Do the same for Chlorine. If you had one
atom of each of these elements, would they combine to form a compound? If so, what
type of bond would they form (covalent or ionic)? Draw an electron dot diagram (Lewis
structure) if you can to show this type of bonding.
Ch. 2 Triple Entry Vocabulary Journal- You may use the following Quizlet for the
middle column http://quizlet.com/1395276/basic-chemistry-vocabulary-bio-phys-sciflash-cards/.
HW: Read pages 30-34 on the composition of matter. All of this material is a review of
last year’s chemistry that you learned in physical science.

Journal Entry #4: Correct your answer to Tuesday’s formative assessment. Using the
periodic table in your book, how many protons, neutrons, and electrons does sodium
have? Do the same for Chlorine. If you had one atom of each of these elements, would
they combine to form a compound? If so, what type of bond would they form (covalent
or ionic)? Draw an electron dot diagram (Lewis structure) if you can to show this type of
bonding.
Ch. 2 Basic Chemistry C-Map (Section 2.1 pages 30-34 and Ch. 2 PowerPoint)
Chemical Bonding Activity (CO2, H2O, and NaCl)
Homework: Review your C-Map from today to better understand atomic structure,
elements vs. compounds, and ionic vs. covalent bonding.

Journal Entry #5: Determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons for carbon
and hydrogen. Draw a Bohr model for each showing the proper amount and location of
these particles. What would the Lewis Dot Structure look like for each of these
elements? If the two were to chemically combine in a 1:4 ratio, would it be an example of
covalent or ionic bonding?
Chemical Bonding Activity using CO2, H2O, and NaCl (Have students explain their Bohr
model and how the atoms bond to one another.)
Ch. 2 Basic Chemistry C-Map (Section 2.2 pages 35-37 and Ch. 2 PowerPoint)
HW: Study for Ch. 2 Vocabulary Quiz. Study your Ch. 2 Triple Entry Vocabulary and
the Quizlet link on your vocabulary page.

Ch. 2 Vocabulary Quiz
Journal Entry #6: List everything you know about water. Add to this information as you
watch the video and see the demonstrations that Mrs. Mohan has for you today.
