Although the directions say to view a PowerPoint, it is not necessary in order to complete this assignment. Six fill in the blank questions survey the periodic table of elements. A chart follows in which, given the element symbol, young...

In this drawing Lewis structures worksheet, learners read about the 5 steps taken to draw Lewis structures for atoms and molecules. These include identifying the valence electrons, placing pairs of electrons between atoms to be bonded,...

In this periods, groups, valence electrons and masses instructional activity, students are given information about all these components of the periodic table. Students identify 4 elements in specific periods and groups, they find the...

Here is a top-notch handout to supply your chemistry class with. It covers valence electrons, Lewis diagrams, the octet rule, and more! Technically it is less of a worksheet than a detailed explanation of these chemical bonding concepts....

After drawing the valence electron distribution of 13 basic elements, there are spaces to draw 18 more complicated molecules.  For each molecule, there is space for a Dot structure and Lewis structure that best describes the...

In this alkanes worksheet, students complete a table with the chemical formula, the structural formula and the condensed formula of various alkanes given different numbers of carbon atoms. They answer three questions about valence...

The periodic table of elements is a vital tool for all chemistry apprentices and professionals alike. Here is a chance for your beginning chemists to assess their understanding of the periodic table. They list element names, symbols,...

In this electron configuration instructional activity, high schoolers write the electron configurations of 22 elements and compare their valence electron configurations. They list the elements that are similar in terms of their...

The first of two worksheets methodically prepares chemistry novices for naming polyatomic compounds. It begins by having them acknowledge the number of each atom contained in a molecule. Then learners list the valence electrons for a...

A short paragraph helps explain how covalent bonds are formed, and then your class will complete the Electron/Dot and Structural diagrams for the molecules given.  The valence diagrams will reinforce understanding. This activity...

Though there are technically only 13 questions on this exam, they take up six pages and make a thorough assessment of organic chemistry principles. There are plenty of diagrams to label or complete. Emission spectra are displayed for...

What a cute approach to chemical bonding! Atoms all have human names and are attending at a dance. Who will pair up with whom? By reading the characteristics, and not the element name, chemistry whizzes figure out the bonding pairs....

An engaging activity enlightens young chemists in this lesson on atomic structure. They play musical chairs through a series of concentric circles that represent electon orbitals. A laundry basket in the middle holds the protons and...

Here is a unique assigment: compare and contrast ionic and covalent compounds in an extensive data table and then analyze Lewis dot structures in antoher. Three columns are to befilled in: "characteristic or feature," "applies to ionic...

In this naming and writing chemical formulas worksheet, students are given directions and practice writing simple chemical formulas. They identify positive and negative valence elements, they name nonmetal compounds, they name compounds...

In this periodic table and elements worksheet, high schoolers review valence electrons, octet rule, oxidation number, and the difference between metals and non-metals on the periodic table. This worksheet has 5 matching, 20 fill in the...

In this Lewis structures worksheet, students read about drawing Lewis structures and how to identify valence electrons. They draw Lewis structures for eight given compounds.

In this atoms worksheet, students complete 58 questions about the atomic radius of atoms, the ionization energy, the valence electrons, metals, non-metals and semi-metals and the families of elements.

In this bonding worksheet, students complete a chart of elements, their symbols, the total number of electrons, the number of valence electrons and the oxidation numbers. They draw Lewis structures for atoms and show the transfer of...

Simple in format and standard in content, this resource is an assessment of your beginning chemists' grasp of the atom. Using a periodic table of elements, they fill in a chart of missing chemical formulas, atomic masses, and numbers of...

For this elements worksheet, students read how the elements are organized in periods and groups in the periodic table. Students use the periodic table to find the valence electrons and calculate molecular mass. This worksheet has 20 fill...

In this atoms worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by writing in the number of electrons, valence electrons, electron configuration, orbital box diagram, probability diagram, and Lewis Dot diagram for the given atoms and ions.

In this families of the periodic table worksheet, students complete a table with the characteristics of elements in the 10 families of the periodic table. Students fill in the blank sections using their text book as a resource. They must...

In this VSEPR theory instructional activity, students build models of molecules using styrofoam balls and pipe cleaners to represent lone pairs. Students complete a chart for 12 molecules with valence electrons, Lewis structures, bond...
