Chemical Bonding

Currently in Introduction to Chemistry and Physics we are studying Chemical Bonding.
We have finished day 1 objectives. This class is designed for the non-college bound students. It is a survey of Chemistry and Physics. We have studied Matter, Atoms, and the Periodic Table.


Unit Objectives
Day 1 -2. Construct and/or interpret diagrams that illustrate ionic and covalent bonding.
Day 2 -3. Predict compound formation and bond type as either ionic or covalent
Day 4. Represent the products formed with simple chemical formulas.
Day 5 - 6. Identify and test variables that affect reaction rates.
Day 7 -8. Use evidence/data from chemical reactions to predict the effect of changes in variables.
Day 9-10. Relate the chemical behavior of an element, including bonding, to its location on the periodic table.
Day 11-12. Explain the role of intermolecular or intramolecular interactions on physical properties.

Lesson Ideas:

Day 1 : Fruity Pebble Lewis Diagrams - use fruity pebbles as the electrons for metals to show the electron transfer from metals to non metals in ionic bonds.
