Key Questions
Why do atoms combine in certain
ratios?
What role does oxidation numbers
play?
How do you name compounds?
Developing An Experiment
What happens when a positive ion
comes in contact with a negative
ion?
— Opposites attract
— What charge does a Na ion have? How
do you know?
— What charge does a Cl ion have? How
do you know?
— Together they make?
The compound NaCl
Run The Experiment
Tips
Complete the chart for part 2.
Make sure to use the the tiles.
Remember the oxidation numbers
must add to zero
What did you learn?
What role do the oxidation numbers play
in creating a compound?
Why didn’t lithium & argon create a
compound?
What did you notice about the ratio of
MgS?
— It was the lowest ratio
Naming Compounds
These are the rules for ionic
compounds.
Now name the compounds you
created in part 2
