Naming Flow Chart

Here is the pdf for the Naming of Compounds for the material that has been presented during this unit. You are welcome to shrink this and add this to your cheat sheet for the final.

Naming Flow Chart

Hope this helps a little. Remember the real and fundamental difference between the types is based on the interaction between the elements and how they achieve stability. If the interaction is based on sharing it is covalent and if it is based on the exchange of electrons then it is ionic. The other rules are in place for simplicity but consequently have some exceptions.

Practice

Here is a practice test for Chapter 8 & 9. This is a test that I have given previously for the material and that you can use for the review for the final exam.

Practice Test Chapter 8 & 9

Remember there will be differences between this and the final exam. The final is multiple choice and not short answer.

Study Guide Unit 3 Test

Here is the study guide for the upcoming Unit 3 Test. The Study guide will frame the content that will make up the Unit 3 Test. The test will be on Monday and Tuesday November 21/22.

Unit 3 Test

The practice test will be available tomorrow and will be added to this post in the morning.

I am sorry for the testing on a Monday, but with the holiday I am really stuck with no other good options.

UPDATE: Please omit the periodic trends information (electronegativity, ionization energy, atomic and ionic radius, how the trends change, the highest and lowest values of electronegativity). That content we did not cover and will thus not be on the test.

Parent Information Night

Thank you to all the parents that attended Back to School Night. Below you can find some of the information that I shared during my presentation.

Amazon Teacher Wish List  - This list contains materials that are needed for the labs throughout the year that are not supplied by the school. As a result they are materials that typically are purchased and provided by me or by the parents. Any donations to the list would be greatly appreciated so that I am able to increase the number of hands on activities for the students.

Parent Remind Account Information - This account has been created to keep parents in the loop with what is going on within the classroom. You can sign up for email or text message alerts that will provide parents with upcoming due dates, project information, and current assignments.

Thank you all again, and if there are ever any concerns please feel free to email me directly.
