Hypothesis: Predict how many compounds you can make from the elements below. Pick one element from the metal list and two from the nonmetal list.

For example, "If I use sodium, hydrogen, and oxygen, then I can make ten new compounds in five minutes."

Now, you try! Make a prediction. Be sure to record your prediction on your lab report.

Metal: Sodium
Calcium
Nonmetal
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Carbon
Chlorine
