SPS1. Students will investigate our current understanding of the atom.
b. Compare and contrast ionic and covalent bonds in terms of electron movement.
SPS2. Students will explore the nature of matter, its classifications, and its system for naming types of matter.
b. Predict formulas for stable binary ionic compounds based on balance of charges.
c. Use IUPAC nomenclature for transition between chemical names and chemical formulas of

• binary ionic compounds (containing representative elements).
• binary covalent compounds (i.e. carbon dioxide, carbon tetrachloride).
