Unit 5: Chemical Bonding and Interparticle Attractions

In this unit, the focus will be on types of chemical bonds, how the types of bonds form, and the relationship between intermolecular forces and chemical and physical properties. The physical properties of water will be used to illustrate the effect of intermolecular forces.

Enduring Understandings

The students will understand that:

• Compounds have unique properties due to the bonding between atoms and to the attractions between individual representative particles.

Essential Questions

• How do attractions between particles relate to the chemical and physical properties of substances?
