This activity is structured as a game, wherein your challenge is to create correct ionic compound formulas by combining individual ions based on their charges. Once you correctly connect the atoms in the interactive website, a common use for that compound will be revealed. In this worksheet, you must record both the correct formula for each of the seven ionic compounds and their common uses as revealed by the interactive program.
Throughout the activity, you will have the option of skipping each compound – if you choose to do this, its common use will not be revealed. You must correctly write the formulas and match the common uses.

Use the puzzle pieces to form the ionic compounds listed in data table 2, and then fill in data table 2 with that information. Write the formula for that compound and draw or copy and paste your completed puzzle for each ionic compound into the table.
Scientific question:
Why are compounds composed of integer ratios of elements?
Hypothesis:
If an atom ionizes to become a positive cation, then it will interact and bond with a negative anionto form an ionic bond.
Outline the main idea of the paragraph. Use key words to clearly link to the scientific question. Write about what was done in the experiment to learn about the sytem and seek an answer to the scientific question. Discuss why this particular type of experiment was suitable to test the hypothesis. Include text based evidence from background research for support. Tie this experiment info back to the hypothesis.
The answer to this MUST look similar to the example attached.

Lewis dat structures were invented by a guy named Lewis. Each dot in a Lewis Structure represents a
valence electron, and each atom is denoted with its atomic symbol. To draw a Lewis Structure, start with
the atomic symbol in the middle, then put dots around the symbol until all of the valence electrons are

the s
represented. Try to envision a box around the atom symbol and the electrons on each side of the box.
The valence electrons should be drawn around the element symbol one on each side before pairing the
electrons up. The maximum number of electrons that could be on one side of a Lewis Structure is two,
and the maximum number of electrons around an element symbol is eight.
Background
To figure out how many valence electrons each element has, use the Periodic Table. Remember, the
number of valance electrons for Group A elements is equal to the Group A number the element is in on
the Periodic Table.

lons that form from one atom on the Periodic Table are called monatomic ions. However not all ionic
bonds are formed with monatomic ions, polyatomic ions can form ionic bonds as well. The prefix poly-
means many and atomic refers to atoms, so a polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one
atom. This differentiates polyatomic ions from monatomic ions, which contain only one atom. Examples
of monatomic ions include Na+, Fe3+, Cl-, and many, many others. We can think about polyatomic ions
by comparing them to manatomic ions. A monatomic ion is an atom that has been ionized by gaining or
losing electrons. The ion has a net charge because the total number of electrons is not balanced by the
total number of protons in the nucleus. Thus, compared to the neutral atom, we have extra electrons-
in the case of a negatively charged anion-or not enough electrons in the case of a positively charged
cation. For example, a neutral chlorine atom has an atomic number of 17, which means it has 17 protons
and 17 electrons. The neutral atom will sometimes gain an extra electron to become the chloride anion,
C: Claed.
After gaining an electron, the chloride anion has 17 protons and 18 electrons. Since there is one extra
electron compared to the number of protons, the lon has a net charge of 1-. Similarly, we can think of a
polyatomic ion as a molecule that has been lonized by gaining or losing electrons. In a polyatomic ion,
anonized
the group of covalently bonded atoms carries a net charge because the total number of electrons in the
molecule is not equal to the total number of protons in the molecule. For example, let's consider the
polyatomic ion OH-, which is known as hydroxide. It contains one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom.
We see that hydroxide has a 1-charge, meaning the lon has one more electron than protons in the
nuclei of a hydrogen atom plus an oxygen atom. Polyatomic ions are everywhere! Bicarbonate ions,
HCO3-, help maintain the pH level of our blood, while phosphates, PO43- are extremely important in
various metabolic processes. Being familiar with the names, charges, and formulas of the most common
polyatomic ions will be helpful for recognizing ionic compounds and predicting their reactivity. The

Now that we have a reference for many of the comman palyatomic ions, let's look at how to write the
chemical formulas for compounds that contain them. There are two main things to keep in mind
Sulfite
Sulfate
Phosphite
Phosphate
1. If a compound contains more than one polyatomic ion of the same type, we need to place
parentheses around the lon's formula before using a subscript to indicate how many ions of that type
are in the compound.
2. The overall charge for the lonic compound must be neutral, which means the sum of the charges
from the cations and anions should add up to zero. We can use this rule to figure out the formula of an
ionic compound when we know the charge on the anion and the cation. This rule can also be useful for
deducing the charge of an ion when the chemical formula for the lonic compound is known.
Example: Write the chemical formula for calcium hydroxide (calcium and hydroxide)
Calcium is an alkaline earth metal in Group 2 on the periodic table, so it forms ions with a 2+ charge.
From our table above, we know that hydroxide has the formula OH-. Because calcium needs to lose two
valence electrons to satisfy the Octet Rule, and hydroxide can only take one valence electron, we will
need two hydroxide ions to exactly cancel the 2+ charge on the Ca2+ ion. When writing out the formula,
we include parentheses around OH followed by a subscript of 2, to make it clear that there are two
hydroxide ions for every Ca2+ cation. Thus, the chemical formula for the compound is Ca(OH)2
Transcribed Image Text:To answer the scientific question, a virtual lab was
used to increase the abundance of the
Hydrogen-1 isotope. The virtual lab provides
data on the average atomic mass and percent
abundance, something that would not be possible
in real life because it is not possible to change the
abundance of Hydrogen-1 naturally. This
experiment is suitable to test the hypothesis
because it provides information on the percent
abundance and average atomic mass and, it allows
us to alter the abundance of Hydrogen-1. In the
hypothesis, we are trying to see if an increase of
Hydrogen-1 will increase the average atomic
mass. The virtual simulation provides the
necessary information to test that hypothesis and
see if it is correct or incorrect.
