CHEM 120 Week 2 Discussion; Atomic Structure (Option 2)

Initial Post Instructions Option 1: Your initial post in the discussion this week consists of two parts. First, choose amolecule used in healthcare, industry, or found in a natural source and discuss theimportance of this molecule. Be sure to include at least one outside source and makesure to follow APA citation guidelines. In the second part of your initial post, we will be practicing naming ionic and covalentcompounds as well as polyatomic ions. To begin, give the chemical formula for each ofthe following: A covalent compound containing no more than two types of elements, anionic compound no more than two types of elements, and an ionic compound containinga polyatomic. Be sure that these compounds are valid (for example, the chargesbalance out in the ionic compound) and that the subscripts do not exceed 10. Option 2: Your initial post in the discussion this week consists of two parts. First, choose amolecule used in healthcare, industry, or found in a natural source and discuss theimportance of this molecule. Be sure to include at least one outside source and makesure to follow APA citation guidelines.The electron configuration of an atom determines the number of electrons available toparticipate in bonding with another atom. One method of depicting the valence electronsthat an atom has is through the Lewis structure. For the second part of your initial post,pick an element from the periodic table of elements. Identify the valence electrons
