Unit 6 Bonding

Unit 6 Bonding

Bonding as a continuum

Exploring ionic, covalent, and metallic models

What do you already know about chemical bonds and material properties?

Properties of Ionic Compounds

Predicting ion charges, deducing formulas and names, understanding physical properties

Covalent Model

Lewis formulas, molecular shapes, bond polarity, molecular polarity

Intermolecular Forces

Types of forces, impact on physical properties

Advanced Topics

Resonance structures, structure of benzene, expanded octets, sigma and pi bonds, hybridization

Metallic Model

Conductivity, malleability, high melting points

Bonding Triangle and Alloys

Positioning compounds in the bonding triangle, enhanced properties of alloys

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
