10.29.10

At the beginning of first period, Mr. Paek tough us a little on ionic formulas and how to figure out the formulas for different compounds. For example, if we had a K+ and a O2- then we would need to get potassium's charge the opposite of oxygen and to equal zero. Here are some other Examples of ionic formulas:

Ex:
Co3+ and Cl- = CoCl3-
K and N= K3N



Mr. Paek also talked about Polyatomic Ions and their symbols. Polyatomic ions are ions that such as Sulfate, Nitrate, Phosphate, Etc... Mr. Paek also went over how to name the formulas Such as CaCl2 would be calcium chloride. He also noted that if there was a roman numeral in front of the first named element that it was the charge. After we walked everything trough we took a quiz on a few things we've already talked about its nothing to worry about. after the quiz Mr Paek assigned some homework.

Homework:
Worksheets handed at beginning of class. pages 11, 12, 13, and 14.
