Formulas, Naming and Chemical Equations Learning Activities (Distance Learning)

This zip file contains many different activities (32 pages of student handouts and 2 PowerPoints with a total of 107 slides) which can be used to compose a unit for chemistry students involving the basics on Naming of Chemical Compounds and Types of Chemical Reactions. Topics in this unit include Hydrates, naming binary ionic and covalent compounds, naming ternary compounds, as well as writing the formulas for these compounds when given the name. The balancing of chemical equations (non-redox) is also included in this unit.   The components of these lessons may be used in any high school chemistry course as well as some physical science courses as well.  Many components of this bundle may be suitable for distance learning needs.  The components this unit addresses in the NGSS Standards and Common Core Standards are indicated at the end of this description.

Many documents are included in both word docx as well as pdf format to allow editing for specific teacher needs.  These documents are well suited for use in distance learning environments.

Learning Goals

Upon the completion of this unit the student will be able to:

1. distinguish between empirical and molecular formulae.

2. list the seven diatomic elements.

3. explain the difference between monatomic and polyatomic ions.

4. use a reference table to identify polyatomic ions.

5. define the term hydrate.

6. electronically balance compounds and polyatomic ions.

7. name binary ionic and binary covalent compounds.

8. use the reference table with polyatomic ions to name ternary compounds.

9. use the Stock system to name compounds.

10. use the prefixes -ous and -ic to name compounds.

11. name binary acids and ternary acids and use a reference table to identify common acids.

12. distinguish between physical and chemical changes.

13. relate the laws of conservation of mass and energy to chemical equations.

14. distinguish between exothermic and endothermic processes.

15. identify synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, and double replacement reactions.

16. balance simple chemical equations.

17. recognize the criteria needed for a reaction to occur.

NGSS Standards

Students who demonstrate understanding can:

HS-PS1-2. Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.

HS-PS1-7. Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.

Common Core State Standards Connections:

ELA/Literacy –

WHST.9-12.2 Write informative/explanatory texts, including the narration of historical events, scientific procedures/ experiments, or technical processes.

Mathematics –

MP.2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
