Chemical Bonds: Covalent and Ionic Bonding

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Chemical Bonds: Covalent and Ionic Bonding interactive also includes:
  • Ionic Bonding Introduction
  • Ionic Bonding
  • Student Reference
  • Join to access all included materials

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 discussion question to test their understanding of the stability of noble gases.
