Bonding Basics - Ionic Bonds

Learners are instructed to consider electronegativities of certain elements to determine their bonding type. Three examples are given to frame the activity, and 17 questions follow.

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...

High school chemists chart the properties of different types of solids after considering their various intermolecular forces. They examine ionic and metallic bonding and draw electron dot structures for several different compounds. This...

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...

Sharing just makes you feel good ... especially if you're a non-metal! Young chemists examine bonding basics with a video from JFR Science. Topics include how covalent bonding differs from ionic bonding, how covalent bonding works, and...

Atoms form relationships with other atoms, just like humans. Their relationships are called bonds and there are different types. Explore how energy is transferred between atoms through ionic and covalent bonds. 

If you've ever wondered why crystals are so strong and hard, Sal does a fine job of explaining, in chemistry terms, why this is so. Crystals are great examples of covalent networks; which are the strongest and hardest substances in the...

Get back to bonding basics. Science scholars get a chance to show what they know using a simple interactive. Pupils create models of covalent and ionic bonds before answering questions about each interaction. The resource includes a...

Starting with a list of definitions and helpful tips for investigating electronegativity and bonding, this question sheet is comprehensive in focus and in its question style. Many types of questions or realistic situation are available,...

This is an online exercise in which chemistry learners answer a series of multiple choice questions about bonding. Topics addressed include ionic and covalent bonds, electronegativity, ions, valence electrons, resonance structure, and...
