Types of Chemical Bonds

We have been talking a lot about Chemical Bonds in Chemistry...


Ionic Bond:
First we started by identifying ionic compounds, which wasn't too hard. You just have to look for a compound that includes a metal and a nonmetal. So identifying them aren't very hard. This sheet to the left is a worksheet we did to identify compounds that are either ionic, covalent, or both. After we learned about ionic bonds we moved on to covalent bonds.





Covalent Compounds:
Below on the far left is a worksheet we did in Chemistry to work on naming covalent compounds. You can see the list I wrote in. It shows all of the prefixes involved in naming the compounds. For example on number 1 you can see that it says CO2. C is the element Carbon and O is the element Oxygen. When they are together they are Carbon Dioxide because there is a 2 and the prefix for 2 is Di! Another thing that helped in naming these compounds was the chart that Mr. Ludwig gave us. It is below on the right side and was really helpful in figuring out how to go about naming a compound if I got stuck on a really hard one.
