WORKSHEET Name:

4 Atoms combining
Core curriculum
1 This is about the bonding in molecules of water, methane, and hydrogen chloride.
a First, draw hydrogen atoms in the boxes, to complete the structures of the molecules.
b Then use • and 3 to show their bonding. (Use 3 for an electron from hydrogen.)

O C Cl

water methane hydrogen chloride

2 This diagram shows the structure Na+ Cl–


of a common substance.
a Extend the structure to the right,
Cl– Na+
by adding four more ions.

b i Name the substance that


has this structure. Cl– Na+

ii Which type of bonding does it have?

iii Which word describes the structure, giant or molecular?

c From the structure, it is possible to predict many properties of the substance.


Underline the most likely property for the solid, in each pair below.

i solubility in water soluble / insoluble


ii melting point / ˚C 59 / 801
iii electrical conductivity good / poor

d Complete the diagrams for the ions in the structure, to show their electron arrangement.
Show the missing electron shells. (The dark circles show the nucleii.)
