Can make then separate a precipitate from a mixture following a very strict series of steps
Can come up with own simple method to separate out precipitate from mixture
Can describe how precipitates form and then demonstrate the separation of them from the mixture
Can use solubility rules to predict which compounds will be soluble/insoluble
Can explain “partial solubility” and what “solubility product” means

Can draw or build a diagram of a molecule given a formula (but not attempting to show electrons in bonds)
Can build physical models and use the physical features of the objects (e.g. how many holes are in the atom ball or ion “key” etc.) to predict the chemical’s formula
Can draw abstract diagrams of molecules including electrons correctly predicting formulae in straightforward cases such as in simple ionic compounds
Can differentiate between covalent and ionic bonds
Can explain hydrogen bonding, van der Waal’s forces and isomerism (structural and stereo) using physical models or abstract diagrams
