Draw a model that shows how magnesium and chlorine combine to form a bond.

Start with the electron dot structure for magnesium and chlorine, then use a series of 2 or more drawings to show the electron movement (please note that there maybe more than 1 atom for either magnesium and chlorine).

Use any model appropriate for the bond type.

2

What type of bond will form between these atoms

2

Write the electron configuration for the non-metal (before it's bonded)

2

What is the "resulting" charge of the metal?

2

What is the "resulting" charge of the non-metal?

2

Determine the formula for the compound involving these two elements

2

In the compoud combining Magnesium and Chlorine, which element forms the cation

2

What is the difference in electronegativity between the two elements

2

Write the electron configuration for the metal (before it's bonded)

3

Using the octet rule and the electron configurations of each element, select all the answers that explain what the elements need to do in order to achieve stability.

5

Draw a model that shows how hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen combine to form a compound.

Start with the electron dot structure for hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen , then use a series of 2 or more drawings to show the electron movement

Use any model appropriate for the bond type.

2

In the compoud combining Magnesium and Chlorine, which element forms the anion

2

What type of bond will form between these atoms

2

Write the electron configuration for carbon (before it's bonded)

2

Write the electron configuration for hydrogen (before it's bonded)

2

Write the electron configuration for nitrogen (before it's bonded)

2

Using the difference in electronegativity determine whether the bond between hydrogen and carbon is polar or non-polar

2

Using the difference in electronegativity determine whether the bond between nitrogen and carbon is polar or non-polar

3

Using the octet rule and the electron configurations of each element, identify and select all answers that explain what the elements need to do in order to achieve stability.

5

Categorize each of the following traits, placing them with the proper atom

(Some traits will be used more than once, or not used at all)

  • 5 valence electrons
  • 4 valence electrons
  • 1 valence electrons
  • forms up to 4 bonds
  • non-metal
  • metal
  • can only form one bond
  • after bonding, will have a pair of unshared electrons (2 total)
  • Carbon
  • Hydrogen
  • Nitrogen
