Polyatomic Ions Teacher Resources

In this naming compounds worksheet, students are given a flow chart guiding them to name chemical compounds. They are given several different compounds to name including binary covalent and binary ionic compounds.

Chemistry aces apply the criss-cross method for finding the formulae of binary compounds. Using aluminum chloride and magnesium oxide as examples, they are guided step-by-step through the process. This is a concise demonstration of this...

In this naming compounds worksheet, students write and name the formulas for 20 ionic compounds including simple and complex compounds.

One document contains five different worksheets for practice naming and writing formulas for ionic compounds. The first is particularly notable, as it systematically walks beginning chemists through the process of using the periodic...

Continue leading your class through the ionic journey as they learn additional ways to name ionic compounds. Pupils focus on deriving compound names from their formulas, including fixed charge metal ions, variable charge metal ions,...

Everything you need to have chemistry learners play "Chemical Bingo" is included within these slides. There are two variations of the game available: chemical symbols for elements, or chemical formulas for polyatomic ions. Blank bingo...

In this ionic bonding worksheet, students observe diagrams about ionic bonds and crystal formation. They answer 37 short answer questions about the properties of monatomic ions, polytomic ions and write correct formulas.

In this compounds worksheet, students draw the Lewis structures, indicating the molecular polarity and the major intermolecular force in each compound. This worksheet has 10 problems to solve.

In this compounds worksheet, students learn the rules for naming compounds, the stock system. Students apply these rules by writing the names or formulas for the 20 given compounds.

In this writing formulas worksheet, students write the formulas for 15 complex ionic compounds and name their anions and cations. Students must balance the charges on the ions and determine the formula.

In this writing formulas worksheet, students write the formulas for 15 ionic compounds and name their anions and cations. Students balance the charges of the ions to determine the formula.

In this naming compounds worksheet, students name 20 given ionic compounds using complex ions. They use the periodic table and an ion chart to help name the compounds.

Using simple materials, an informative lesson demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Matter and explains how to balance chemical equations. Young chemists perform experiments, analyze reactions, and balance chemical equations...

In this naming acids worksheet, students are given a chart with polyatomic ions and acid names with oxidation states, prefixes and suffixes. They use the chart to help name the eighteen given acids.

For this compounds worksheet, learners compare ionic, covalent, and polyatomic compounds and give examples of each type. This worksheet has 1 matching, 3 problem solving, and 4 short answer questions.

How are chemical bonds similar and how are they different? Provide your young chemists with the resources to more thoroughly understand the concepts of ionic and covalent bonds. Pupils research these topics, diagram examples of each...

In this Lewis structures worksheet, high schoolers draw 12 Lewis dot structures for 8 compounds and 4 polyatomic ions using electrons in the outer orbitals to show bonding.

In this ions worksheet, students use a charge chart in a textbook to determine the charges of different types of compounds. This worksheet has 24 fill in the blank questions.

In this science instructional activity, students find the words that are in the word search puzzle that focus upon the vocabulary that is from the theme of the sheet.

In this chemistry worksheet, students draw the Lewis structures of 9 compounds and polyatomic ions, identify their molecular shapes and polarity.

In this chemistry instructional activity, students draw the Lewis structures of 11 compounds and polyatomic ions. They calculate the formal charge of each atom.

By contrasting cations and anions, this presentation shows how to predict ionic charges by periodic groups. The slides conclude with a few guided practice problems for writing ionic compound formulas. 

Learners practice drawing Lewis dot structures, build molecules with model kits, and predict molecular shapes using VSEPR theory. The combination of written work and hands-on reinforcement benefits young scientists.

Lost an electron? You should keep an ion them. Young chemists learn qualitative analysis in the second lesson of an 11-part chemistry series. After observing reactions of simple salts, the teacher provides pupils with unknown...
