nitrite PO43- phosphate

2. Define an empirical formula and molecular formula. - Empirical Formula: A formula giving the proportions of the elements present in a compound but not the actual numbers or arrangement of atoms. molecular formula: a chemical formula based on analysis and molecular weight. 3. Define an organic compound - Any compound of carbon and another element or a radical.

Complete the following Comparing Ionic and Covalent Compounds Table (See Figure 1, on page 183) Ionic Compounds Structure Valence Electrons Electrical Conductivity State at room temperature Melting and boiling points I DONT HAVE THE NOTE BOOK ^^^ I WILL DO IT AFTER THE BREAK IN CLASS :* Covalent compounds

Presentations tomorrow Word Wall and Activity Chapter 6 The Structure of Matter WORD WALL Name:_______________ KHETAM ALFARAJ 1.PRESNRT The forces that hold atoms or ions together in a compound are called Covalent Bonds hold different atoms together as well as different ions. 2. Define chemical structure: A chemical structure includes molecular geometry, electronic structure and crystal structure of molecules. Molecular geometry refers to the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule and the chemical bonds that hold the atoms together. 3. What is the ball-and stick model: Is a molecular model of a chemical substance which is to display both the threedimensional position of the atoms and the bonds between them. 4. Define Bond Length and Bond Angle: Bond length is the average distance between the centers of the nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule. Shorter the bond length, larger is the value of bond energy. Bond Angle is the angle that is formed between two adjacent bonds on the same atom. 5. Draw a ball-and-stick model of Water: Water: Draw a space-filling model for

Label the bond angle between H-O-H and bond length from O-H in the ball-andstick model, dont forget the units 1. Define structural formula and give an example: It is an expanded molecular formula showing the arrangement of atoms within the molecule. For example, ethanol can be represented by CH3CH2OH. 2. Why is it better to realistically imagine bonds between atoms as springs rather than sticks?

3. Define what an ionic and covalent bond is: Ionic bond is a chemical bond in which one atom loses an electron to form a positive ion and the other atom gains an electron to form a negative ion. Covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves sharing a pair of electrons between atoms in a molecule.
