112.35.c.7

(7) Science concepts. The student knows how atoms form ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. The student is expected to:

• (A) name ionic compounds containing main group or transition metals, covalent compounds, acids, and bases using International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature rules; 
• (B) write the chemical formulas of ionic compounds containing representative elements, transition metals and common polyatomic ions , covalent compounds, and acids and bases; 
• (C) construct electron dot formulas to illustrate ionic and covalent bonds; 
• (D) describe metallic bonding and explain metallic properties such as thermal and electrical conductivity, malleability, and ductility; and 
• (E) classify molecular structure for molecules with linear, trigonal planar, and tetrahedral electron pair geometries as explained by Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory.
