  • The name and chemical formula for the substance
  • The composition of the substance (i.e., the names of the atoms comprising the substance)
  • The specific name and description of the chemical bonds that exist between the atoms or ions in the substance
  • The physical properties of the substance
  • The state(s) of matter in which this substance is naturally or normally found in
• Your discussion in this paragraph should integrate specific terms and concepts discussed in this week’s readings and resources.
