Ionic Bond Teacher Resources

Chemistry lab learners experiment to identify a series of unknown compounds. They choose which tests to perform, but you may suggest melting or boiling point, solubility, electrical conductivity, and malleability. This is a terrific...

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...

Here is a top-notch handout to supply your chemistry class with. It covers valence electrons, Lewis diagrams, the octet rule, and more! Technically it is less of a worksheet than a detailed explanation of these chemical bonding concepts....

Starting with a very clear diagram to demonstrate how a wave actually forms, an informative video will be a great summary about s wave travel. It explains the difference between polar bonds in liquids versus the stronger ionic and...

Even though the questions on this learning exercise pertain to general chemistry, it was created for an AP biology course. It is crucial for biology learners to grasp these concepts as a foundation for biochemical processes that they...

Some basic chemistry concepts are fundamental to understanding biology. Learners explore how molecular structure plays a role in biological processes, especially the structure of the water molecule. The final page focuses on water's...

This PowerPoint is a comprehensive review of all the facts related to an atom's basic structure and function. What makes this unique is that it is geared toward an audience of junior geologists. After introducing the periodic table of...

In this atom worksheet, students read 5 paragraphs about ionic bonds. Students answer 2 true/false questions, 4 fill in the blank, 3 multiple choice, and 1 short answer question.

Students discuss the difference between atoms and elements. They analyze how compounds are formed. Students discuss the difference between covalent bonds, hydrogen bonds, and ionic bonds. They review bonding with diagrams, "Atoms or...

In this ionic bonding worksheet, students review the characteristics of ionic bonding, draw Lewis dot diagrams for elements, and write the chemical formula for ionic compounds. This worksheet has 8 drawings, 14 fill in the blank, and 6...

On this note-taking sheeet, chemistry learners list elements as metals or non-metals. They differentiate between ionic and covalent bonds. They draw Lewis structures for both types of bonds. This would be a terrific teaching tool when...

Your young chemists will find these slides very informative. Groups and periods of the periodic table are labeled and described according to the charge. Comprehensive explanations of physical and chemical properties and how they relate...

What do dipoles say in passing? Have you got a moment? Videos begin with ionization energy, then move on to covalent bonds, polar-covalent bonds, and ionic bonds. After a discussion of dipole moments, a video quiz reviews the material....

These atoms don't believe in sharing. Introduce intrepid chemists to ionic boding using an engaging JFR Science video. Topics include ionic compounds, how the bonds form, and properties of ionic salts.

Every sort of chemical bond is touched upon during this assignment. Chemistry whizzes identify what type of bond is formed by analyzing chemical formulas or Lewis structure diagrams. Multiple choice questions also ask learners about...

Summarize your topic of chemical reactions with this short presentation about classifying and the properties of different reaction types. Your students should be able to name the reaction types, identify the ions involved, and write the...

There is not much information in this presentation. It serves more as a guide to direct the flow of your introductory chemistry lecture. Each slide displays a large title and a smaller phrase meant to explain it. For example, one title...

Learners create models of ionic and covalent electronic bonds to demonstrate their understanding of these chemistry concepts. They explain how both ionic bonds and covalent bonds work so that younger students can understand.

Students classify compounds as ionic or covalent. In this chemical bonding lesson plan, students experiment with 6 chemical compounds. They test physical properties such as the melting point, the solubility and the electrical...

In this chemical bonds learning exercise, students review the different types of bonds, Lewis dot structures, ions, and molecule shapes. This learning exercise has 10 matching, 17 multiple choice, and 3 drawing questions.

In this bonding instructional activity, students read about the two different types of chemical bonding: ionic and covalent bonds. Students review ion notation and oxidation numbers. This instructional activity has 24 fill in the blank,...

In this bonding and electron configuration worksheet, high schoolers answer 9 multi-part questions including identifying the differences between bond types, drawing Lewis structures for atoms and identifying types of bonds in molecules.

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...

Ionic bonds form from electrostatic energy, allowing for higher conductivity than those seen in covalent bonds. In the simulation, learners add sugar and salt to water and see the effects on concentration and conductivity of their...
