LESSON OBJECTIVES:

​1. State the formulae of the elements and compounds named in the subject content.

​2. Define the molecular formula of a compound as the number and type of different atoms in one molecule.

​

​

​1. Identify the symbol of every element ( 1st- 20 elements in the Periodic Table)​

2. Identify the symbol of Special Ions.

​3. List the type and number of elements present from the formula given.

STEPS TO SUCCESS:

​The Element

Scientist have a shorthand way of representing elements called symbols. They are used to write the formulae of molecules and compounds.

Instruction:

Please prepare your own copy of Periodic Table before we proceed with the lesson.
