Unit Plan #5 - Nomenclature

Unit 5:  Ionic and Molecular Compound Nomenclature
Chemistry Level 2/Mrs. Wissler

Learning Objectives:
4.6 Name and write the chemical formulas for simple ionic and molecular compounds, including those that contain the polyatomic ions: ammonium, carbonate, hydroxide, nitrate, phosphate, and sulfate.
Memorize the chemical symbols and names of elements 26-50 and an additional 25 common elements (attached).
Central Concepts: Atoms bond with each other by transferring or sharing valence electrons to form compounds.

Essential Questions:    
  • How does the formation of compounds result from the bonding that occurs when atoms share or transfer electrons?
