Texas Gateway: Ionic and Covalent Bonding

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...

Test six various reagents for their ability to conduct electricity. Cooperating chemists research whether each is ionic or covalent and discover the relationship between bonding and conductivity. This laboratory exercise would be an...

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...

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...

Demonstrate that all bonds are not made the same. Use the video to compare ionic and covalent bonds. Each bond is explained in depth using specific examples. 

Both ionic and covalent bonds present as strong bonds, but which is stronger? Socratica presents a video from its chemistry playlist that attempts to answer this question. It addresses how strength is measured and the range of strengths...

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...

Atoms form relationships with other atoms, just like humans. Their relationships are called bonds and there are different types. Explore how energy is transferred between atoms through ionic and covalent bonds. 

This nifty little presentation uses computer animation to illuminate how ionic molecular bonds and covalent bonds are formed. This would be a terrific addition to your PowerPoint or Smart Board lesson on molecular bonding.
