Florida State University: Basic Concepts of Covalent Bonding: Covalent Bonding

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...

Test six various reagents for their ability to conduct electricity. Cooperating chemists research whether each is ionic or covalent and discover the relationship between bonding and conductivity. This laboratory exercise would be an...

Four activities immerse beginning chemists into the world of elements. They examine the periodic table, use cobalt hydroxide to learn about chemical formulae and valence electrons. Also, they name binary compounds and examine the...

Using chlorine as the model to demonstrate the structures and representations, this PowerPoint clearly labels and details the main atomic structures and reasons for bonding. The electrons in the outer shell are diagramed and then the...

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. 

Time for some class bonding! Learners explore the octet rule for creating covalent bonds. Using dot diagrams, the instructor illustrates covalent bonds within an element and shows an example of single, double, and triple bonds. 

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...

When it comes to covalent bonding, sharing is caring! As part of the Socratica chemistry playlist, a useful video explains the definition of covalent bonding. Then, it works through examples of single bonding, double bonding, polar...

Linus Pauling: Nobel laureate and ... orange juice fan? Examine the varied interests of one of America's greatest scientific minds with a video from JFR Science. The narrator discusses Pauling's work in chemical bonding research, his...

Have you reached your breaking point in looking for great resources that illustrate bond energy? Demonstrate the potential energy changes that occur when polar and non-polar bonds are broken with a stimulating simulation. Pupils pull on...
