Science: Covalent Bonds

Prepare your class for a quiz with these physical science review questions. Learners respond to 7 questions about ionic and covalent bonds, oxidation states, and chemical and physical changes. In addition, they name compounds and balance...

Prepare a time lapse video of fruit candies acting as atoms moving toward each other to form ionic or covalent bonds. After showing it as a demonstration, have lab groups work together to create a similar video. Over the time period...

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...

There are only six short answer questions on this assignment. Chemists explain electrical conduction properties of salt, salt water, and gold. They compare ionic and covalent bonds. The explain bond strengths. Perhaps you could use this...

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...

Sal introduces students to the ways that atoms "stick together" by bonding. Students see that the process of atomic bonding is what creates molecules. He outlines specific examples of atoms combining through covalent 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...

Demonstrate that all bonds are not made the same. Use the video to compare ionic and covalent bonds. Each bond is explained in depth using specific examples. 

This nifty little presentation uses computer animation to illuminate how ionic molecular bonds and covalent bonds are formed. This would be a terrific addition to your PowerPoint or Smart Board lesson on molecular bonding.

Using the chemicals that leaked in the Bhopal gas tragedy of 1984, chemists examine covalent bonds. Provide for them the chemical reactions and have them draw Lewis diagrams for the molecules involved. That's about all there is to the...
