Chem1 Virtual Textbook: Chemical Bonds: Covalent or Ionic or What?

How are chemical bonds similar and how are they different? Provide your young chemists with the resources to more thoroughly understand the concepts of ionic and covalent bonds. Pupils research these topics, diagram examples of each...

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....

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. 

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...

As part of the General Chemistry Virtual Textbook, this site examines a variety of topics related to the Earth. This page looks at the Earth and its lithosphere, the chemical composition of the Earth, the structure of the Earth, and more.

The General Chemistry Virtual Textbook, or Chem 1, is broken into several sections covering various aspects of topics related to chemistry. This section deals with the shared-electron covalent bond and related topics such as the octet...

College-level site goes into great detail about chemical bonding properties, as far as energies, structure, angles, and length. Infrared absorption, the greenhouse effect, and global warming are addressed to exemplify bond length...

As part of a larger resource called "Getting started in Chemistry," this page examines various topics related to the study of matter. Included in the study are properties of matter, classification of matter, pure substances, chemical...

As part of a larger resource called "Getting started in Chemistry," this page examines various topics related to energy. The types of energy discussed include kinetic, potential, thermal, and chemical.

"The name is Bond. James Bond." Or is that "Chemical Bond?" Assign the viewing of the video as homework, and then have your chemists come to class to practice drawing electron dot diagrams and Lewis structures with the several bonus...
