Chemical Reactions and Bonding
Virginia SOL CH.3.CR
Investigate and understand that atoms are conserved in chemical reactions and use chemical properties to describe and predict chemical interactions.
What students need to be able to do
- Use chemical formulas as models to represent the number of each type of atom in a substance.
- Name substances based on the number of atoms and the type of interactions between atoms.
- Write and balance chemical equations to model rearrangement of atoms in chemical reactions.
- Explain how atoms bond based on electron interactions.
- Use molecular geometry to predict physical and chemical properties.
- Predict and classify reaction types.
