Ionic - Chapter 5
What is a chemical bond? How do they form? Which electrons are involved in
bonding? What is ionization energy? What is electron affinity? How many valence
electrons are required for a stable octet? What is a cation? Anion? How do you
name cations? Anions? What is an ionic bond? What is an oxide? What is a salt?
What type of elements form ionic bonds? What is an electrolyte? What does the
term endothermic mean? Exothermic? What is a formula unit? What is a
monatomic ion? Give some examples of monatomic ions. What is the common
charge of the transition metals? What is a polyatomic ion? Give some examples of
polyatomic ions. List the rules for writing binary ionic formulas. List the rules for
naming binary ionic compounds.

Covalent - Chapter 6
What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds? What is a molecule?
What are lone pairs? How many sigma and pi bonds are in single, double, and
triple bonds? List the rules for naming binary covalent compounds. List the rules
for writing binary covalent compounds. List the prefixes for 1-10. How can you tell
the difference between a binary acid and an oxyacid just from the name? From the
formula?
 Name these compounds: CCl4; As2O3; CO; SO2; C2H6; NF3.
 Give the formula for these compounds: nonahydrogen pentoxide, tricarbon
hexafluoride, oxygen tetrasulfide, phosphorus pentachloride, sulfur
hexabromide, and nitrogen monoxide
 Name these acids: HI; HClO3; HClO2: H2SO4; H2S.
 Draw Lewis structures for: PO43-, NF3, CS2, BH3, ClO4- , NH4+, SO3, NO2-, and
PCl5.
What are the three exceptions to the octet rule? What is the VSEPR model?
 What are the shapes of: BF3, OCl2, CF4, BeF2, PH3?
What is electronegativity? How can differences in electronegativity be used to
determine whether a bond is ionic, polar covalent, or non-polar covalent?
