13 Bonding with dot structures

Last updated over 4 years ago
8 questions
This assignment has both ionic and covalent bonds represented. Ionic compounds are the results of an electrostatic attraction between charged particles. Covalent compounds are the results of highly electronegative elements (nonmetals) sharing electrons.

Your job is to draw the electron dot structure of each element.
Then determine if electrons will be transferred or shared. Circle what you determine.
Next, write what the resulting dot structures would be when they bond.
Name your compound. Names start with the least electronegative element. Follow the naming flowchart if needed.
And finally, write out the formula. Use the alternate keyboard to write subscripts. There should be no spaces in the formula. A space means a new and separate element or compound.

If you enter the name and formula correctly, spelling does matter, it will show green. However, when I grade it, I may remove points if the supporting work is not completed. Each dot structure is a half point. Shared or transferred, name and formula are each worth 1. 5 points per table. There are 40 points possible, 5 of which will be shown in class.

TO GET FULL POINTS you need 25 points, with at least 4 tables complete.
