Johnson, Julian Ammonium Sulfate (NH4)2SO4

Ammonium Sulfate is binary ionic. This compound is commonly used to promote plant growth, but when too much is used alkaline levels in the soil raise and the plants tend to die. Aside from plant growing ammonium sulfate is a key ingredient in fire extinguishers. Also, ammonium sulfate is commonly used in flooded soil in the process of growing rice.

Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) Patrick Hakim

Hakim, Patrick
Calcium Carbonate



    Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) is a ternary ionic compound (meaning more than two different elements) and composed of calcium (Ca) and the polyatomic ion carbonate (CO3). It naturally occurs in more than 4% of the Earth's crust in the form of chalk, limestone and marble. It is also used paper, plastics, paints, and coatings due to it's white color and brightness. In construction, it is used by itself as marble or limestone, but can also be made into mortar. It also is used in everyday life in the form of baking powder, toothpaste, dry-mix dessert mixes, dough, and wine.

Nate Neeley-Sodium Flouride

Nate Neeley

Sodium Fluoride-NaF-This is a binary ionic compound for the reason that it is made of only two elements. It is made of one metal and one non-metal

Sodium Fluoride is used constantly in our everyday lives, at least twice a day actually. It is in toothpaste which we use to brush our teeth because the sodium fluoride coats the teeth and attracts strengthening minerals to the teeth because of the fluorine in it. We cannot swallow it though because it is poisonous, which is a reason that it is also used in many pesticides.

A Useful, but Deadly Acid



Barlow, Dylan

 HCN - Prussic Acid (Hydrocyanic Acid ): An acid made from the combination of hydrogen and cyanide, as well as water in its liquid form. It is used mainly in the fumigation of houses, and is also used in the process of electroplating. Unfortunately this gas is also very deadly to humans, preventing cellular oxidization processes. Very useful, but not fun to breath.
