Sophia: Ionic Compounds: Naming Binary Compounds From Formulas

Here is a unique assigment: compare and contrast ionic and covalent compounds in an extensive data table and then analyze Lewis dot structures in antoher. Three columns are to befilled in: "characteristic or feature," "applies to ionic...

In this oxidation numbers and ionic compounds instructional activity, high schoolers write the formula for compounds given ions, they write the ions given formulas, they list oxidation numbers for elements, they write formulas for...

Test six various reagents for their ability to conduct electricity. Cooperating chemists research whether each is ionic or covalent and discover the relationship between bonding and conductivity. This laboratory exercise would be an...

In this compounds activity, students name ionic and molecular compounds given their formulas. They also write the formulas for molecular and ionic compounds given their names.

This is not a worksheet per se but a reference sheet for your chemistry class. It lists cations and anions, their chemical symbols, and their net charges. Also included is a thorough explanation of combining these ions to form ionic...

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...

Twelve compounds are named and each of their chemical formulas are printed on individual cards. Chemistry pupils place each beneath an Ionic or Molecular card, depending on which type of compound is represented.

This handout, produced in the UK, contains a chart of cations and anions. It explains how ionic compounds are formed and named. This concise and attractive handout can be helpful as a reference for your chemistry apprentices.

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. 

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,...
