The objectives of this discussion forum revolve around thefundamental concepts of atomic theory, molecular structure andproperties, and chemical nomenclature (naming). Your initial postto the forum should be in response to the following:
Explain how you would go about distinguishing ametal from a nonmetal.
Consider including the following talking points in yourdiscussion posts this week:
- An explanation of the differences between metals and nonmetalsincluding the physical and chemical properties of both.
- An explanation of the differences between ionic and molecularcompounds including the physical and chemical properties ofboth.
- Nomenclature of ionic and molecular compounds.
