How Atoms Bond - Elements and Compounds Part 1

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...

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...

Connect the dots and assist young chemists as they demonstrate covalent and ionic bonding. Class members use their knowledge of valence electrons to predict compound formulas as they arrange electrons into various bonding structures...

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....

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...

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. 

What determines the type of bond two atoms will form? Science scholars examine the factors that affect the formation of molecules and compounds through a short video from Socratica's biology series. Topics include valence electrons,...

Bond some basic chemistry knowledge to the brains of your students with this short instructional video. After first identifying metals and non-metals on the period table, the presenter continues on to explain the types of materials...

The Pauling Scale is used to understand bonding due to electronegativity. Bond types are classified. [11:39]

"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...
