Minute Mystery: a man is lying unconscious in the middle of a muddy field. No footprints at all are near him (not even his own), and there is nothing in the field with him besides a green rock. Who is he? In pairs, answer the question and provide an explanation for the answer. A prize for the correct answer and a prize for the most creative answer will be awarded.

Minute Mystery: a man is lying unconscious in the middle of a muddy field. No footprints at all are near him (not even his own), and there is nothing in the field with him besides a green rock. Who is he?

In pairs, answer the question and provide an explanation for the answer. A prize for the correct answer and a prize for the most creative answer will be awarded.

If you are writing this, please stop and listen!

What are: Cations? Anions?

What are: Cations – positive ions because they lost

electrons Anions?

What are: Cations – positive ions because they lost

electrons Anions – negative ions because they

gained electrons

What happens when you play with magnets?

Cations and anions are attracted to each other!

Metals look to become stable by losing electrons (e.g. Na)

Non-metals become stable by gaining electrons (e.g. Cl)

When a metal and a non-metal react they exchange electrons, forming an ionic compound

1. Draw the Lewis Dot diagram for each element

2. Exchange electrons and add atoms as needed

3. Show charges

Example: Sodium and Chlorine react

Be + F Ca + O

1. Write the name of the metal

2. Write the name of the non-metal with “ide” as its ending

E.g. Fluorine fluoride

bromine bromide

Li2O

Al2S3

Li2O

Lithium

Al2S3

Li2O

Lithium Oxide

Al2S3

Al2S3

Aluminum

Al2S3

Aluminum Sulfide (Sulphide)

The Paper Exercise◦ Everyone gets a piece of paper◦ Everyone needs to close their eyes and listen to

the instructions (eyes must stay closed!)◦ No questions are allowed

Why is listening so important? When working in groups, is listening

enough? How do you deal with different

perspectivies?

Naming worksheets◦ Don’t do the formula questions yet

1. Write the symbol of the metal and the symbol of the non-metal

2. Write the charge of each symbol at the top right

3. Criss-cross the charge number to the bottom of the other ion

4. Re-write your answer and reduce the numbes if needed
