Procedure
 Fill out the necessary details in Parts A , B, and C.

( 1 PT. EACH.)
Part A
Criss-Cross Method. Show the chemical formula of the following compounds:

Ex: Aluminum Chloride Al (3) Cl (1) ---------- AlCl₃

1. Barium Fluorine
Ba (+2) F (-1) ---------- BaF2
2. Magnesium Chlorine
Mg (+2) Cl (-1) ---------- MgCl2
3. Calcium Phosphorus
Ca (+2) P (-3) ---------- Ca3P2
4. Sodium Sulfur
Na (+1) S (-2) ---------- Na2S
5. Sodium Hydroxide
Na (+1) OH (-1) ---------- NaOH

Part B. Write the chemical name and identify whether ionic compound or covalent compound.

Compound Formula Chemical Name Ionic or Covalent Compound

Ex: MgO
1. OF2 Oxygen difluoride Covalent Compound
2. Al2O3 Dialuminium trioxygen Covalent Compound
3. Cd(NO₃)₂ Cadmium nitrate Ionic Compound
