Table 1

Table 2

Table 3

Metal elements combined with the nonmetal element Chlorine, Cl, to form compounds. The formulas are given in the tables. Compare the three tables. What do you notice? Predict the formula of a compound formed between lithium, Li and chlorine, Cl. What table would you put it in?

Learning Intentions

• We will learn how to predict the chemical formulas of compounds that will form between metals and non metals atoms.

• We will learn the rule of zero charge and the octet rule.

• We will learn how an ionic compound forms and to follow the rule of zero charge.

Closing Task:

You can predict what elements a specific element can bond to in a certain ratio and explain why.

Content Standards being covered:

Student understands why bonding occurs between atoms, what types of bonds form when different elements interact, how the bonds form and properties that arise as result of the bond forming.
