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

Slides 5 through 8 in this presentation from the McMaster University explain covalent bonding.

Short slide show provides basic information about drawing Lewis dot structures for covalent compounds. Starts with anatomy of the atom, and then shows the relationship between atomic particles and the Periodic Table of Elements. Offers...

Students interpret the information given in the periodic table to describe the arrangement of electrons on the energy levels around an atom.

In this interactive activity from ChemThink, students will learn about covalent molecules and how the VSEPR theory predicts the shapes of covalently-bonded molecules.

Florida State University provides this article on electronic configurations of atoms and Hund's rule.

The third paragraph pinpoints the importance of hyperons in particle research. Hyperons and neutrinos share characteristics of the weak force. Complex stuff, but the real deal. Parts of this report may be very useful. Many photos, slow...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The following online tutorial explains the basis of VSEPR theory. It helps students predict the shapes of molecules and polyatomic ions using VSEPR theory and it...

[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.

Here at Chem4Kids you can learn all about ions. Content explores what an ion is, its various characteristics, electrovalence, and more.

This site provides a detailed overview of atoms. Content explores an atom's structure, as well as what ions are, how atoms bond, what compounds are (including how to name compounds), and what isotopes are.

Students discover the concept that two atoms can attract and form a covalent bond.

This power point covers the molecular structure chapter from "An Introduction to Chemistry". It reviews the main ideas and shows many examples of covalent bonding from valence electrons. Also includes detailed steps to drawing lewis dot...

This audio book, narrated by Mark Bishop, describes the formation of covalent bonds. Lewis dot structures help highlight the valence electrons used to determine which bonds form. Also find links to animations and tutorials about other...

Learn all about molecular structures in this easy-to-understand, audio book. See how valence electrons determine how atoms bond together, and look at the bonding inside some of the most common molecules around you.

A nice introduction to why carbon is the key to organic chemistry. Explains the role of valence electrons in the bonding of carbon and gives lots of "stick figures" models of simple hydrocarbons.

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.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In the following online tutorail students will use the Periodic Table to identify and explain periodic trends, including atomic and ionic radii, electronegativity,...

Students act as engineers to apply what they know about how circuits work in electrical/motorized devices to design their own battery-operated model motor vehicles with specific paramaters. They calculate the work done by the vehicles...

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

A slide presentation with several slides dedicated to the topic of formal charges. Formal charges are explained, and examples are given. A practice example is provided.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this learning module, students will explore how the form of the periodic table is related to electron configurations, which in turn influences chemical reactivity.

The nature of insulators is described at the atomic level. Band gap theory is used to explain what distinguishes insulators from conductors.

In this applet, students use the tools to eulerize each graph.
