Ionic and Covalent Bonding Animation

What a cute approach to chemical bonding! Atoms all have human names and are attending at a dance. Who will pair up with whom? By reading the characteristics, and not the element name, chemistry whizzes figure out the bonding pairs....

After drawing the valence electron distribution of 13 basic elements, there are spaces to draw 18 more complicated molecules.  For each molecule, there is space for a Dot structure and Lewis structure that best describes the distribution...

In this covalent and ionic substances worksheet, high schoolers use the internet to find information about the characteristics of covalent and ionic substance and explain what causes the differences in these types of substances.

At the top of the page are a reading passage and colorful diagram that depicts the tug-of-war that occurs between bonding molecules due to electronegativity. High school chemists fill in a chart with electronegativity values, the...

All different types of bonding are covered in this PowerPoint, along with details of resulting bond and molecule shapes. The definitions of traditional molecule shapes and characteristics of behavior are very useful to assist in...

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...

A chemistry walks  viewers through non-polar covalent, polar covalent, and ionic bonds and how to determine the type of specific chemical bonds. 

Get back to bonding basics. Science scholars get a chance to show what they know using a simple interactive. Pupils create models of covalent and ionic bonds before answering questions about each interaction. The resource includes a...

Use this resource to understand polar covalence in ion-derived solids.

Good introduction and graphics make this a solid page for understanding the orbital role in bonding and molecular geometry. The author is a professor at Florida State University.
