Honors Chemistry Testing Topics: Chemical Bonding Unit
The testing for this unit is going to be administered in two separate tests. One test will contain all of the
nomenclature. The other test will the detailed information on the types of chemical bonds.
Nomenclature Topics: (names   formulas)


Ionic Nomenclature
o Simple Binary Compounds
o Compounds containing elements that use roman numeral system
 D-block, F-block, “heavy metals”
o Compounds containing polyatomic ions
 Must have all polyatomics memorized.
Molecular Nomenclature
o Simple Binary Compounds
 Prefix system
o Acid Nomenclature
Chemical Bonding Topics:



Ionic Bonding
o Electron dot diagrams
o Ion formation/predicting ionic charges
o Properties of ionic compounds
 Strength, structure, MP & BP, conductivity, etc.
o Chemical formula formation (criss cross rule)
o Determining charge of roman numeral elements
o Ionic mechanisms
Metallic Bonding
o Valence electron representation
o Properties of metallic substances (explain how valence e- influence some of these)
 Structure, malleability, ductility, conductivity, etc.
o Benefits of alloys vs. pure substance
Covalent Bonding
o Properties of molecular compounds
 Strength, structure, MP & BP, conductivity, etc.
o Drawing Lewis structures
 Single bonding, double bonding, triple bonding, coordinate bonding, resonance structures
o Deficit & Excess Atoms
o Central atom hybridization
o VSEPR Theory
 AXE Notation
 Molecular shape and bond angles (available on reference sheet)
