Chemical Bonds: Formal Charges

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...

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...

Using chlorine as the model to demonstrate the structures and representations, this PowerPoint clearly labels and details the main atomic structures and reasons for bonding. The electrons in the outer shell are diagramed and then the...

Almost a complete lesson in itself, this presentation will enhance any bonding and compounds unit. The concepts included are charges of atoms lending to particular molecular structures, the stability of bonds and how to diagram them....

Here's a presentation that answers the age-old question of the covalent bond to the ionic bond, "Why won't you share?" Included is information about covalent and ionic bonds, the octet rule, ionic compounds, cations versus anions, and...

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...

Want to hear a joke about element 116? Uuh ... Here is a video that explains how to find the formal charge of a molecule using its covalent electron distribution. It focuses on electron dot structure and dividing the molecule into...

An introduction of formal charge and how it may affect the stabilization of dot structures. [11:30]

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...

High schoolers 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...
