# SPS2: Atomic Bonding in Compounds

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain how atoms bond to form stable compounds.

- Subject: Science
- Appears in: High School, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/science/high-school.md

## Expectations

- **SPS2.a**: Analyze and interpret data to predict properties of ionic and covalent compounds.
- **SPS2.b**: Develop and use models to predict formulas for stable, binary ionic compounds based on balance of charges.
- **SPS2.c**: Use the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature for translating between chemical names and chemical formulas.
