What are the ionic compounds?
CaS and K3N
How do Yk they are ionic compounds?
1 metal and 1 non- metal
How would the atomic structure of cesium be different from that of rubidium?
Rubidium has one less shell.
Draw an ion with 2-
O (2,6) to O(2,8 with 2-)
What atom has the same structure?
Neon N(2,8)
Sketch argon
Ar ( 2, 8, 8)
1 metal and 1non-metal
Cl 1- and K 1+
Draw methane
CH4
4x H (2 bonds)

What is an easy way to remember diatomic molecules?
H O F Br I N Cl
Difference between ion and atom of elements?
Ions have a positive or negative charge, while atoms don’t
Why do atoms stay close together in a molecular compound?
They stay together because of covalent bonds, meaning they share electrons through valence shells.
