Ionic bonding

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...

Four pages provide plenty of problem solving practice for chemistry whizzes. They answer questions and write electron configurations for ions. They use Lewis dot diagrams to display equations. Covalent bonds are explored. The last half...

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...

How do you know when an ionic bond requires two ions or if it needs more? The fifth video in the six-part series explains this concept. The video uses multiple examples using diagrams of valence electrons. 

Teach your class all they want to know about ionic bonds. An engaging video, part of the Socratica "Chemistry Lessons" playlist, explains what ionic bonds are and how they form. It describes multiple examples of ionic bonds and...

It's true! Opposites do attract! A straightforward video lesson explains the basics of ionic bonding. Using visual models, the instructor describes the repeating patterns in an ionic compound. She also explains how a formula unit simply...

Build on your scholars' basic understanding of valence electrons by showing them how to use valence electrons to predict formations of ionic bonds. The informative video includes an explanation of how lattice energy attributes...

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...

Isn't it ionic that when atoms steal from each other, we call it bonding? A brief video explains ionic bonds, details what an ion is, how they are attracted, and the type of bond formed. The first video in a six-part series on ionic...

Using toothpicks, marshmallows, and round colored sticky dots, physical science enthusiasts build models of an atomic nucleus. In this eighth grade chemistry lesson plan, they play an atom-naming game with the models that they have...
