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...

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...

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...

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...

Get down to basics with these worksheets on the structure of atoms. Challenging young chemists to identify information from the periodic table and create Bohr diagrams and Lewis dot structures for different elements, this...

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...

Thorough explanations of the trends in the periodic table of elements make up the majority of this handout. Atomic and ionic size, ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity are presented before giving chemistry...

There are 17 multiple choice questions on this periodic table test. The focus is on properties of the elements by group and period. The exam is not formatted well, making it a little difficult to read. There is also a typographical...

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 elements activity, 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 activity has 20 fill in...

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...

In this chemical bonds learning exercise, students review the different types of bonds, Lewis dot structures, ions, and molecule shapes. This learning exercise has 10 matching, 17 multiple choice, and 3 drawing questions.

In this elements activity, students compare the properties of elements in the periodic table such as their atomic radii, valence electrons and ionization energy.

In this periodic table worksheet, students complete a table of elements with their atomic number, atomic mass and symbol. They classify elements by their group name and distinguish between metals, nonmetals, and semi-metals. They also...

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 Lewis structures worksheet, students draw molecular structures for twelve molecules. They determine the number of bonds in the molecular formula by following step by step directions given on the worksheet.

In this electron dot structures handout, new chemists read about electron arrangement and how to draw electron dot diagrams. They complete a chart with the mass number, atomic number, isotope notation, number of neutrons, and Bohr...

At the top of the page are a reading passage and colorful diagram that depicts the tug-of-war that occurs between bonding molecules due to electronegativity. High school chemists fill in a chart with electronegativity values, the...

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...
