CHEM.7.C — Vertical Alignment

Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.

CHEM.7.B

name and write the chemical formulas for ionic and covalent compounds using International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature rules;

CHEM.7.C

classify and draw electron dot structures for molecules with linear, bent, trigonal planar, trigonal pyramidal, and tetrahedral molecular geometries as explained by Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory; and

CHEM.7.D

analyze the properties of ionic, covalent, and metallic substances in terms of intramolecular and intermolecular forces.

CHEM.8.D

CHEM.7.C — Breakout of skills

Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.

The student is expected to

classify electron dot structures for molecules with

bent molecular [geometry] as explained by Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory

linear molecular [geometry] as explained by Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory

tetrahedral molecular [geometry] as explained by Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory

trigonal planar molecular [geometry] as explained by Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory

trigonal pyramidal molecular [geometry] as explained by Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory

draw electron dot structures for molecules with
