Naming and Bonding Reflection

 

1) Answer Essential Questions

• Why is it important that things have name

 

Ans: So that we can clasify it. We can also seperate it into group. For example, we have group number in the periodic table. Also, people can know what to call and spread the news.

 

 

• How does the structure of atoms affect their bonding (and properties)?

 

Ans: The structure an atom does effect the their bonding. There are three types of bonding. One of them is ionic bond. The other one is covalent bond. The last one is metallic bond. In ionic bond, they give and take. But in covalent they share pair. However, metallic bond is the sea of electrons. If an atom need an electron but the other atom need to get rid, then one of them give an electron to the other atom. So both atom have a full energy level. For example, sodium cloride. But if the structure of an atom said that they both need one, then they come close together and shair their outer shell. For example, chlorine and chlorine. Metallic bong occurs as a result of electromagnetism. It occurs between the conduction electron and the positively charged metal ion. All of the electron are free to move and they are not stuck. This is because the strucutre of the metallic bond.

 

 

 

 

2) How does what you learned connect to the real world?

 

Ans:So that we can compare some of the compound the we learned and see if that compound are used in everyday life or not. For example, sodium chloride. Sodium cloride are table salt. It is the one that we eat everyday. However, if it is just sodium or cloride seperately, it is really dangerous.

 

 

 

3) How did you develop or grow as a student through this unit?

 

Ans: I think I have learned a lot, if you compare last year and this year. This year, we learned in more details about the bonding. I also did more work than last year. For homework, I did a lot of practice and it helped me a lot! Honesly, I have never learn how to write the formula and the naming. So I think I already did well. However, I did a lot of stupid mistakes, such as putting bracket and to write small sub unit number.

 

 

 

4) As you look at the work you have completed throughout this unit, what are you strengths?

 

Ans: I think my strength is that I tried to to the best and to be as accurate as I could. I also did a lot of research to ensure that my homework questions were correct. I think my strength on this unit is that I did well on explaining and giving examples. On the test, I think I did well on the part that it let me compare between ionic, covalent and metallic bond.

 

 

5) As you look at the work you have completed throughout this unit, what do you think you could improve?

 

Ans: I don't think I could improve anything. I had already put my full effort on the test. I honestly spent almost 2 hours, trying to remember all of the polyatomic acid. Some of the polyatomic acid are hydrochloric acid and hydroflouric acid.
