This interactive activity from ChemThink takes a closer look at a covalent bond: how it is formed and how the sharing of two electrons can keep atoms together.

By working through this web-based activity, students differentiate between ionic, non-polar covalent, and polar covalent bonds. Specifically, distinctions are made between bonding types based on orbital shapes and electronegativity...

This activity helps students review basic covalent nomenclature.

This inquiry activity introduces chemical and ionic bonds and allows students to investigate an unknown situation, make hypotheses, and share data.

Problem sets, tutorials, and activities related to biochemistry.

This instructor led activity will produce a partially filled periodic table that contains electron-dot models for the first twenty elements in the appropriate boxes. It will be used as a visual tool for students to connect concepts such...

Students will use colored fruit loops to organize valence electrons to develop and master the basics of Lewis Dot diagrams. They will develop processing and critical thinking skills and also master a model of bonding.
