Instructional Ideas

  • Challenge individuals to create one type of non-metal bond to try to stump the others in the class

Classroom Considerations

  • Requires prior knowledge of valence electrons and energy levels
  • Remember YouTube comments are open to the public and often contain language that is inappropriate
  • Video is the seventh in a series of 14

Pros

  • Includes closed captioning in English, French, Thai, and Spanish (Spain)
  • Provides many examples and a description of how to solve each

Cons

  • None
