Bond Energy Teacher Resources
Find teacher approved Bond Energy educational resource ideas and activities
Before completing this worksheet, chemists are supposed read a portion of their textbook. Assign the chapter on bond energies, endothermic, and exothermic reactions. Then have your class answer the questions and fill in the data tables on this neatly formatted handout.
For advanced chemists, this activity examines heat change during chemcial reactions. Alkanes are examined first. Learners calculate the energy released or needed during a reaction.
About halfway through the year you may want to administer an exam on kinetic molecular theory, bonding, thermodynamics, and the behavior of gases. If so, look no further! This five-page test covers all of these topics. A list of relevant formulas and constants is provided, along with a copy of the periodic table for reference purposes. Keep in mind that it was written for a college level general chemistry course, but you may find it appropriate for high schoolers as well.
Four problems about heat exchange are presented for chemists to solve. They calculate heat of combustion, heat change, bond energies, and entropy. Use this as a quiz for your advanced placement chemistry class.
Given a chemical reaction, chemists calculate enthalpy. They determine heat of formation and bond energies. Using written words, they explain how hot and cold water differ and which of oxygen's allotropes is most stable. Use this as a review with your AP chemists.
Query your chemists on kinetic energy, gas laws, rate law, bond dissociation, and more! This well-written advanced chemistry exam puts forth 15 multiple choice questions and 13 problems to solve.
The chart that is required to answer the first question is printed on another worksheet by the same author. You could have learners find an average bond energies table in their textbooks or online if you want to use this otherwise terrific worksheet. It asks your high school chemists to calculate heat, entropy, and free energy changes for different chemical reactions.
Two pages of chemistry formulas and constants preceed the question in this chemisty exam. The topics are related to heat of formation and kinetic molecular theory. You will definitely need to go through page by page to find if they are topics covered by your curriculum. If they are, you may have found a gem, because this exam incorporates a variety of question formats and chemistry ideas.
This is a review of how advanced chemistry learners handle thermodynamics equations and calculations. Charts and graphs are included for them to read in addition to solving related problems. You will find this resource useful as a review homework or preparation for a unit quiz.
Consider our energy sources: wood, coal, oil, uranium. Learners compare the pollution to energy produced for each. They practice fractional distillation of an alcohol/water mixture to simulate the process of refining crude oil. Thought-provoking questions are assigned as a follow-up to the laboratory exercise. This is an outstanding resource to add to your physical or earth science repertoire.
