Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
When predicting products of chemical reactions, it is important to know the charges of all elements and polyatomic ions.
- •
When predicting products, the inner elements combine with the inner elements, and the outer elements combine with the outer elements.
- •
When writing a chemical formula, the positive element (usually a metal) goes first, followed by the negative element (usually a nonmetal).
