Final Answer:
The worksheet asks students to classify each compound as ionic, covalent, or metallic based on the types of elements involved (metal vs. non-metal), and then identify the bond type using the key:
-
M = Metal,
NM = Non-metal
-
Ionic: Metal + Non-metal
-
Covalent: Non-metal + Non-metal
-
Metallic: Metal + Metal
For example:
- NaCl → Na (M) + Cl (NM) → Ionic
- SO₂ → S (NM) + O (NM) → Covalent
- Mg → Mg (M) only → Metallic (elemental metal)
Since no specific compound is requested for a single answer, and the task is to *fill in the table*, the correct approach is to apply the above rules row by row. If forced to give one representative final answer for the first row (NO₂):
NO₂: N (NM) + O (NM) → Covalent
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of ionic and covalent compounds worksheet answers.
