SHS Chemistry
2014-2015
LEARNING TARGET
I will be able to explain semester 2 policies and
procedures and form questions based on
observations.
WARM UP
Read the syllabus silently in its entirety. Pay
close attention the the sections that outlines
how grades will be calculated for semester 2.

Weekly Quiz Days
 Quizzes will be given at least once per week
 Notes will be checked on this day
 Independent Practice will be turned in


Grades: 50% Quizzes and Tests
50% Independent Practice and Notes
LEARNING TARGET
I will be able to perform learning targets A1, A2,
A3, B1, B2, B3, and B4.
WARM UP
Copy today’s learning targets into your notes
organizer from your bonding learning targets
document.

Seat B- Manager
Seat C- Reader
Seat D- Document Controller (responsible for
clean up at the end of class)
Seat A- Spokesperson

Individually write down at least one property
of an ionic compound and at least one
property of a covalent compound.

Write each property on its own post-it note.

It can be from the lab or the reading.

As a group…
 Go around the table in a circle, starting with seat
A and ending with seat D.
 Read one of your properties out loud to your
group, and place it in the proper column of the
chart. Discuss any disagreements as they occur.
 Continue until you have shared all of the
properties your group came up with.

When called on, the spokesperson at your
table will share one of your group’s
properties. Do not tell the class whether it is
ionic or covalent.

I will give you a few seconds to discuss, then
call on the manager from another table to say
what compound the property represents.
Ionic Compounds
Transfer Electrons
Metal and Nonmetal
Soluble in water
Conducts electricity when
dissolved in water
Extremely high melting
point and boiling point
Covalent Compounds
Share Electrons
Only Nonmetals
Sometimes soluble in
water
Does not conduct
electricity
Low melting and boiling
point

Center Atom – Carbon is always a center
atom in a compound
Hydrogen is always on the outside
Draw valence electrons for all atoms
Start with the center atom
Then move to the other atoms and place
them around looking for single electrons to
bond to
When you satisfy the octet rule on all atoms
you are done.

Take out your periodic table and a highlighter
or colored pencil.

Diatomic elements are elements that exist
naturally as two atoms of the same element
covalently bonded together into a molecule.

Covalent and Ionic Compound Properties
Lewis Structures
 Octet Rule
 Valence electrons on an atom from the Periodic
Table
 Draw Lewis structures for single bond compounds
 Identify bonding and non-bonding electron pairs

Diatomic Elements
LEARNING TARGET
I will be able to:
1. Draw Lewis Structures for compounds with
double & triple bonds
2. Predict type of bonds that will form based
on total number of valence electrons.
WARM UP
Draw a Lewis Structure for I2
THE RULES

all atoms except hydrogen should have 8
valence electrons

you must include all valence electrons that each
atom brings into the bond

you cannot add electrons

elements can form single, double, or triple
bonds

LEARNING TARGET
I will be able to:
1. Draw Lewis Structures for compounds with
double & triple bonds
2. Predict type of bonds that will form based
on total number of valence electrons.
LEARNING TARGET
I will be able to:
1. describe resonance structures
2. draw resonance structures for polyatomic
ions
WARM UP
 Make one pile of homework, and a separate
pile of everyone’s notes.

Learning Target D: Lewis
Structures for Polyatomic Ions
Friday, January 30
Learning Target E: VSEPR
Thursday , February 5
THE RULES
 all atoms except hydrogen should have 8
valence electrons
 you must include all valence electrons that each
atom brings into the bond
 you cannot add extra electrons (unless there is a
charge)
 elements can form single, double, or triple
bonds
 Lewis structures for charged particles are placed
in brackets, with the charge as a superscript on
the outside
LEARNING TARGET
I will be able to:
1. describe resonance structures
2. draw resonance structures for polyatomic
ions
LEARNING TARGET
I will practice creating Lewis Structures on
paper.
WARM UP
Be sure you have back your quiz and your
independent practice paper.
