Eighth graders identify the types of bonds elements form. In this chemistry instructional activity, 8th graders represent valence electrons with dot structures. They draw and label different atoms.

Learners work together to explain the VSEPR theory and how it relates to molecules. They name electron pairs that can surround the central atom of an organism. They discuss the factors that determine the polarity of a molecule as well.

For this organic molecules worksheet, students solve four problems. They draw Lewis structures, they identify functional groups in a molecule, they draw resonance structures and they provide details of bonding within a molecule.

In this periodic table worksheet, students create cards for a annotated periodic table then use it to answer 16 short answer and fill in the blank questions.

The VSEPR Model of molecular structure is exhibited through this series of slides. The step-by-step process is listed, and then examples are provided. The graphics give a visual display of the spatial relationship between the atoms of...

An organized table charting the different types of chemical bonds arrays this resource. The octet rule, ionization energy, and the naming of compounds are also reviewed. Young chemists answer review questions in multiple choice fashion....

In this chemical bonding activity, high schoolers review the three types of compounds: ionic, covalent, and polyatomic. Students practice drawing the covalent bonds of given compounds. This activity has 5 drawings and 13 fill in the...

For this chemical bonding worksheet, students review the three types of bonds including ionic, covalent and polyatomic compounds. They identify 8 compounds as ionic, covalent or polyatomic and they make 4 ionic compounds and they draw 5...

In this bonding instructional activity, students fill in 8 blanks with the appropriate terms about theories of bonding, they determine if 6 statements are true or false, they match 5 terms with their meanings and they solve 1 problem...

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.

This lesson will demonstrate how to draw a Lewis Dot diagram for elements. It is 4 of 4 in the series titled "Lewis Dot Diagrams of Elements."

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this interactive learning module, students will learn a technique to predict molecular geometry based on a molecule's Lewis electron dot structure.

An excellent lesson on writing Lewis structures. Examples shown include ammonium ion, carbon dioxide and the carbonate ion.

This site talks about ionic, polar covalent, and non-polar covalent bonding.

This slide presentation contains a few slides that will be useful for students learning to write Lewis structures. A discussion of multiple bonds is included, and clear examples are shown.
