In this intermolecular forces worksheet, students answer 4 questions about the forces between atoms within molecules and compounds. Students rank the boiling points of compounds based on their intermolecular forces and they explain...

After a short introduction, chemistry aces get right into drawing electron dot diagrams for covalent bonds. There are only three questions to answer, so this is not a comprehensive worksheet. It can be used when introducing your class to...

In this chemicals worksheet, high schoolers answer 15 multiple choice questions about chemicals, compounds, inorganic and organic molecules.

In this chemistry review worksheet, students give atomic symbols for given atoms, calculate moles, determine empirical formulas, and balance chemical equations. This worksheet has 1 drawing, 9 fill in the blank, and 12 word problems.

In this aqueous solutions worksheet, students will explore the characteristics of solutions, including the ability of different compounds to dissolve in the solutions. This worksheet has 10 true or false statements and 8 short answer...

In this biologically important molecules worksheet, students fill in the blank with information about carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Students also make notes about nucleic acids.

Students investigate how water passes through cell membranes. In this biology lesson, students differentiate osmosis and diffusion. They illustrate the movement of water in both processes.

Students experiment with water as a component of suspensions, solutions, and heat conduction contributing to the use of food and the health and wellness of human beings.

Learners explore the unique behaviors of water. They investigate surface tension using water drops on a penny and pennies dropped in a cup.

The following module illustrates a method for determining if a molecule is polar or nonpolar.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The following online tutorial describes how the electronegativity difference between two atoms in a covalent bond results in the formation of a nonpolar covalent,...

This section in the online textbook describes how to tell if a molecule is polar or non polar. Detailed steps and examples are good references. Also find links to presentations and chapter maps for other chemistry topics.

Florida State University provides a discussion of polarity of binary and polyatomic molecules, with tables and graphics.

Simulations to show students the nature of chemical bonds. Simulations include an explanation of stereochemistry, atomic orbitals, chemical polarity, formation of an atom, and a summary quiz.

A series of science simulations exploring how molecules assemble themselves and how scientists are learning to engineer their structure. Students will discover what patterns molecules form with interactive lessons. At the end there is a...

Explore how polarity affects molecular shape and charge.

Adjust amounts of ionic charges in this simulation to see how water molecules react to polar substances in solution.

A model that explores why electrons are so important in chemistry. Investigate electron clouds, what happens when two atoms come together, and chemical polarity.

This PowerPoint presentation features 33 slides that explain chemical bonding and molecular shape.

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 lesson will demonstrate how to use molecular shape to determine if a molecule is polar or nonpolar. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Polarity of Molecular Compounds."

Observe how molecules with hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions move in a mixture of oil and water, and pay attention to changes in potential energy over time. Move and rotate the molecules to see how they interact with their surrounding...

An investigation of how polar and nonpolar interactions affect shapes of biological molecules and their function. Modules explore the following: 1. Why don't oil and water mix? 2. Can a substance dissolve in both a nonpolar and a polar...

Students learn about the basics of molecules and how they interact with each other. They learn about the idea of polar and non-polar molecules and how they act with other fluids and surfaces. Students acquire a conceptual understanding...
