More Bonding

AP Chemistry
Today I showed how to answer many of the Chapter 5 FRQ. The answers have been posted here. The homework is to do the Chapter 5 Practice Test. We will go over this in class on Wednesday and hopefully take the test on Friday.

Advanced Chemistry
Today I explained in lots of detail how to write the formulas for ionic compounds. We worked with simple binary ionic compounds like MgCl2 and Na2O. We also worked with ionic compounds that contain a polyatomic ion, like Na3PO4. Learn that polyatomic ion song!!

Honors Chemistry
Today I finished talking about the March Madness bracket, which was a good review of chemical formulas. Then I went over a new packet that discussed the differences between molecular, structural, and empirical formulas. The answers to this packet have been posted here. Tomorrow we will do a lab experiment involving hydrates.
