Agenda

  1. Build all eight from the kits, using the electron counts given
  2. Compare builds — find two groups who built one formula differently
  3. Name it: Lewis Structures and Models — conventions, against your builds
  4. Names and formulas as a system, not a list: Naming and Formulas
  5. Keep beside you: Polyatomic Ions and Naming Rules at a Glance
  6. Practise: Naming Practice, first section, in pairs

Things to do before our next class

  • Naming Practice, questions 1–12.
  • Journal: one naming rule that still feels arbitrary, and why.
