Practice Problem: Ionization Energy
When we learned about periodic trends, we learned about ionization energy. Just how much energy is required to remove an electron from an atom? What about a second electron, or a third? Let's compare a few different ionizations and see...

Practice Problem: Analyzing Acid-Base Equilibria
Acids! Bases! Conjugate acids! Conjugate bases! We definitely have to be able to label such things, and we should also know how to state which direction in an acid-base equilibrium is preferred. To do this we should know how to tell...

Types of Silicates Part 2: Inosilicates, Phyllosilicates, and Tectosilicates
Silicates are a particularly complex class of minerals that all contain silica tetrahedra. What are the characteristic structures of the last three sub classes of silicates? How are they different from one another? The 8 Classes of...

Practice Problem: Lattice Energy and Ionic Bond Strength
We know that within an ionic compound, the ions are held together by ionic bonds. What is the strength of those bonds, and what is the lattice energy possessed by the entire lattice? Can we compare two compounds and say which has the...

Metallic Bonds
We've learned about ionic and covalent bonds, so we understand the interactions that will occur between a metal and a nonmetal, or between two nonmetals. But what about two metals? Metallic bonding! This ends up being sort of like ionic...

Native Elements, Oxides, Halides, and Sulfides
Different types of rocks contain different classes of minerals, which can tell us a lot about the geological environment in which the rock formed. What are these different mineral classes? What is the common structure of each class? The...
