An introduction to the noble gases shows how full electron shells on an atom makes an element unreactive. Your class will then develop an understanding of how sodium and chlorine react ideally because of their electron arrangement....

Almost a complete lesson in itself, this presentation will enhance any bonding and compounds unit. The concepts included are charges of atoms lending to particular molecular structures, the stability of bonds and how to diagram them....

Using toothpicks, marshmallows, and round colored sticky dots, physical science enthusiasts build models of an atomic nucleus. For this eighth grade chemistry lesson plan, they play an atom-naming game with the models that they have...

Learners see how electrons are transferred in the bonding of NaCl. They then create models of NaCl using styrofoam balls and toothpicks to assist them in explaining the formation of ions and ionic bonding. 

All different types of bonding are covered in this PowerPoint, along with details of resulting bond and molecule shapes. The definitions of traditional molecule shapes and characteristics of behavior are very useful to assist in...

This clear overview of ions and ion formation will be useful for either review or note taking. Each slide has quite a lot of text on it, but they are bullet pointed well, and you could edit the slideshow to have facts appear separately....

How are chemical bonds similar and how are they different? Provide your young chemists with the resources to more thoroughly understand the concepts of ionic and covalent bonds. Pupils research these topics, diagram examples of each...

Students explore ionic bonding. They draw examples of ionic bonding and explain the activities of the electrons of the elements. Students use paper plates and candy to draw electron configurations of given atoms.

Ninth graders investigate ionic bonding through energy level diagrams. In this ion bonding lesson plan, 9th graders observe demonstrations to show energy level diagrams using magnets to represent the subatomic particles. Students fill...

Food always gets attention! Model atomic structure using fruit loops to represent the subatomic particles. After building models, scholars create ionic bonds using their models. Finally, they use these concepts to create a periodic...

Students classify compounds as ionic or covalent. In this chemical bonding lesson plan, students experiment with 6 chemical compounds. They test physical properties such as the melting point, the solubility and the electrical...

Lewis dot diagrams, Lewis dot structures, and electron dot diagrams are all the same thing. Young scientists learn how to draw Lewis dot diagrams and come to understand how dots and dashes represent valence electrons and ionic or...

I don't trust atoms because they make up everything. Budding scientists learn about famous scientists connected to atomic models, chemical, ionic, and hydrogen bonds. The presentation also presents how to count atoms...

Your young chemists will find these slides very informative. Groups and periods of the periodic table are labeled and described according to the charge. Comprehensive explanations of physical and chemical properties and how they relate...

You may want to make a few changes before sharing this slide show with your chemistry class. For one, remove the bright blue swirly background that makes the black font hard to read. Ionic bonds are described with the use of an electron...

Summarize your topic of chemical reactions with this short presentation about classifying and the properties of different reaction types. Your students should be able to name the reaction types, identify the ions involved, and write the...

Students are able to discuss the difference between a proton, a neutron and an electron. They also can explain the difference between an ionic and a covalent bond. Students know the main structure of atoms and molecules. Student are able...

Students create models of ionic and covalent electronic bonds to demonstrate their understanding of these chemistry concepts. They explain how both ionic bonds and covalent bonds work so that younger students can understand.

This PowerPoint is a comprehensive review of all the facts related to an atom's basic structure and function. What makes this unique is that it is geared toward an audience of junior geologists. After introducing the periodic table of...

Students discuss the difference between atoms and elements. They analyze how compounds are formed. Students discuss the difference between covalent bonds, hydrogen bonds, and ionic bonds. They review bonding with diagrams, "Atoms or...

Young scholars develop an understanding of covalent and intermolecular forces. They are also introduced to ionic bonds, bond length, bond energy, dipole moment, geometry, and Lewis Dot Structure. Students prepare a lecture about...

Young chemists grow ionic crystals, metallic crystals, and supersaturated crystals in three different lab experiments. Observing these under a microscope allows pupils to compare the various structures. 

In this solubility worksheet, students identify substances as either ionic or molecular, define saturated solution and solubility, and calculate concentration of solutions. This worksheet has 7 short answer, 5 fill in the blank, and 27...

An educational presentation includes atoms, molecules, the four major elements, as well as neutrons and protons. Additionally, slides focus on atomic number, mass number, atomic weight, polar and nonpolar covalent bonding, ionic...
