 * 1) What is a covalent bond? A bond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.
 * 2) What is an ionic bond? The elctrostatic attraction that binds oppositely charged ions together
 * 3) List 5 differences between ionic and covalent compounds (Ex. high or low boiling and melting points, sharing or transferring electrons, etc.). For one there polarities are different Covalent's have low polarity and Ionic has High polarity and then their melting points Covalent bonds have low melting points and Ionic has high melting points. then Boiling points Covalent has low and Ionic has high. Their state at room temperature Covalent Gasses or liquids and an Ionic Bond is Solid. Then their shape Covalent has a Definite shape and Ionic is has no definite shape.
 * 4) Find 5 Lewis Structures and copy and paste them on your page. Determine their molecular geometry.





March 22nd of 2010 **__Guide to Naming and Wriiting Formulas for Chemical Compounds__**
 * Whether the compounds is **ionic**, **covalent**, or an **acid** and **//how you know//**.
 * If the compound is **__Ionic__** - what are the charges of the ions involved and **//how you know//** the charges.
 * If the compound is **__Covalent__** - what **//prefixes//** are needed/used.
 * If the compound is an __**Acid**__ - which **//rule//** did you use to determine the name/formula (State the rule from your notes). **//Explain//** how you used it.

Hydronitric acid - HNO2 This Compound is an Acid cause it has Hydro in it and the rule that it used is Rule number 3 because the thing that it is bonded to is Nitrite which has -ite for it's ending which changes to to Nitric.

HydroPhosphoric Acid - H3P This Compound is an Acid the reason why is it's Formula starts with Hydrogen so that makes it an Acid the Rule it uses is Rule number 1 cause it was Phosphide not Phosphite or phosphate so thats how i got this Acid



Lead (20) Hydroxide

Al(MnO4)3
