WANTED!!!!

Wow, this Flouride Ion seems pretty angry. He's running around stealing electrons. Something needs to be done about this before he steals anymore!

But first, the homework:

Assignment # 1: Bring your binder to class. No binder, no stamp!


Assignment # 2: Bring 100 sheets of looseleaf to class.


Assignment # 3: Bring a glue stick to class.


Assignment # 4: This fourth and final assignment is the WANTED, MISSING, and LOOKING FOR... posters that we discussed in class Friday. You will need to make a poster about a situation regarding an ion, an atom, or an electron, in such a way that you show an understanding of ionic or covalent bonding.

For example, for the above picture with the angry Fluoride Ion, we could make a poster saying

WANTED: Fluoride for stealing electrons from Alkali Metals. He was last seen hanging out with a group of Halogens. There is a $5,000,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. If you see Fluoride do not approach him as he is HIGHLY REACTIVE! Contact your local scientist immediately!

And we might draw an image of Fluoride stealing electrons, or Fluoride with a mustache, etc.

We could also do a MISSING poster.

MISSING: two electrons missing since Friday. they were last seen with Magnesium before he was approached by two Chlorine atoms from the Anion Gang. When they left, Magnesium found he was missing two electrons. They may be ionically bonded and therefore trapped in a crystalline structure. If you recognize these electrons from their photo, please contact your local authorities.


You can draw the poster, or download images from the web to make your poster, or even use photoshop to create your poster. Have fun and check that the information you provide is correct. Use your notes to make sure. If you don't finish completely over the break, don't worry. We will have a day or two in class to complete the assignment. But you must come in on Wednesday with the work you have done.

Enjoy the rest of the break!
