  1. Identify general properties for ionic compounds.
  2. Provide electron dot structures for atoms.
  3. Model the formation of ionic compounds using Lewis dot structures and arrows to indicate transfer of electrons.
  4. Relate the number of valence electrons an atom has, along with its placement on the Periodic Table, to the ionic charge it will have when in an ionic compound.
  5. Write chemical formulas and names for binary ionic compounds.
  6. Write chemical formulas and names for compounds containing polyatomic ions.
