Compounds and Bonding Practice

Directions: Answer all questions on this packet. Ask Mr. Renfro or send me an email with any questions
that you dont understand.

1. Explain the difference between a compound and a mixture and give an example of each.
2. Look at the figure below. How many elements of carbon and chlorine are contained in the CCl4
(carbon tetrachloride) molecule?

3. Look at figure 8.7. Which of the diagrams is the correct structurally arrangement for Carbon
tetrachloride?
4. Write a chemical formula for a compound that has two atoms of oxygen and one atom of iron.
5. What is the chemical formula for the molecule shown below?

6. How many atoms of hydrogen are in a molecule of acetic acid (HC2H3O2)?

7. Which of the molecules below has the correct chemical formula of C3H8?

8. What do the properties of a molecule depend on?

9. Name the two ways an element can form a bond. Please compare and contrast the two types of
bonds.
 Ionic Bonds Practice

1. Fill in the missing information on the chart.

# of Valence
Element # of Protons # of Electrons
Electrons

Sodium

Chlorine

Beryllium

Fluorine

Lithium

Oxygen

Phosphorus

2. For each of the following ionic bonds:

Write the symbols for each element.

Represent the bonds with a line, or double bonds with two lines, and triple bonds with three
lines
Draw an arrow (or more if needed) to show the transfer of electrons to the new element.
Write the resulting chemical formula.
Write the electron configurations for each ion that is formed. Ex. H1+ = 1s2

a) Sodium + Chlorine

b) Magnesium + Iodine

c) Sodium + Oxygen

d) Calcium + Chlorine

e) Aluminum + Chlorine

2. For each of the following covalent bonds:

Write the symbols for each element.

Represent the bonds with a line, or double bonds with two lines, and triple bonds with three
lines
Rearrange the electrons to pair up electrons from each atom.
Draw circles to show the sharing of electrons between each pair of atoms
Draw the bond structure using chemical symbols and lines. Use one line for each pair of
electrons that is shared.
Write the chemical formula for each molecule.
