[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students investigate compounds, and learn the ways in which molecules are named.

This section of the lesson module focuses on covalent bonds, which are formed between non-metal atoms that share a pair of electrons. It includes links to a video and a test. Other types of chemical bonds are covered elsewhere in the...

Learn how compounds are formed and broken down by chemical forces.

This site is a personal site that gives "a simple view of covalent bonding" including explanations, diagrams, and examples.

Learn here about organic compounds, groups of carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen, usually oxygen, and often other elements as well, and how they are essential to human functioning.

Provides a good outline of the concepts involved in ionic and covalent bonding, with links to definition of terms. Features a list of common molecular compounds and a chart that compares ionic and molecular compounds.

A learning module giving the definition of a covalent bond, the compounds and elements they make up and why they form. Module includes reading and review questions.

This lesson will provide naming rules for ionic compounds containing polyatomic ions and give examples. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Ionic Compounds: Naming Compounds with Polyatomic Ions in Formula."

This lesson will demonstrate how to write the formula for an ionic compound containing polyatomic ions given the systemic name.
