name and write the chemical formulas for ionic and covalent compounds using International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature rules;
CHEM.7.C
classify and draw electron dot structures for molecules with linear, bent, trigonal planar, trigonal pyramidal, and tetrahedral molecular geometries as explained by Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory; and
CHEM.7.D
analyze the properties of ionic, covalent, and metallic substances in terms of intramolecular and intermolecular forces.
CHEM.8.D

Next grade

CHEM.7.B — Breakout of skills

Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.

The student is expected to
name the chemical formulas for
covalent compounds using International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry nomenclature rules
ionic compounds using International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry nomenclature rules
write the chemical formula for
covalent compounds using International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry nomenclature rules
ionic compounds using International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry nomenclature rules
