OCTOBER 7 -- MARCUS LU

OVERVIEW OF MATERIAL LEARNED IN CLASS
- Ionic Compounds
- Covalent Compounds
- Greek prefixes
- Balancing Equations




IONIC COMPOUNDS =
Two or more particles held together by electrostatic forces.  Consists of a metal and a non-metal

COVALENT COMPOUNDS=
Consists of a non-metal and another non-metal, that share electrons.  When writing COVALENT COMPOUNDS we use greek prefixes to represent the number of particles in the compound.

GREEK NUMBERS=
mono-1
di-2
tri-3
tetra-4
penta-5
hexa-6
hepta-7
octa-8
non-9
deca-10

HOW TO BALANCE EQUATIONS:
If you still havn't learned how to balance equations throughout science 8,9, and 10, check out this website which shows you in great detail how to balance equations. http://richardbowles.tripod.com/chemistry/balance.htm
