Lesson 10: Objectives
PURPOSE:
To review all of the things that can be figured out from the name of a chemical.
OBJECTIVES: You have completed this lesson when you can:
1. From the name of a chemical, determine whether it is an element or compound.
2. From the name of an element, determine whether it is a metal, a nonmetal or an inert gas.
3. From the name of an element, determine whether it has metallic or covalent bonding.
4. From the name of an element, determine whether it is a network or molecular material.
5. From the name of an element, determine the formula (if different from the symbol).
6. From the name of a compound, determine whether it is ionic or covalent.
7. From the name of a compound, determine whether it is network or molecular.
8. From the name of a compound, determine the formula and formula weight.
9. From the name of a compound, determine the composition (weight percent).
10. From the name of a compound, write the balanced equation for its synthesis from the elements.
11. From the name of a compound, write the balanced equation for its decomposition into the elements.
12. From the name of a compound, determine the weight of each element needed to make a certain amount of it.
13. From the name of a compound, determine the weight of each element that could be obtained by decomposing a certain amount of it.
14. From the name of a compound, determine the weight of the compound that can be made from specified amounts of each element.
15. From the name of a molecular chemical, determine the Lewis (electron dot) diagram for it.
16. From the name of a molecular chemical, determine the shape and polarity of the molecule.
17. From the name of a molecular chemical determine the type of intermolecular bonding.
ASSIGNMENTS
Find and (re)read the sections in your text that deal with the nomenclature of inorganic compounds. Also find and review the sections that deal with any topics in this lesson with which you have trouble.
This is a review lesson and there is no lab report or problem set to be turned in.
