Lesson 3.2: Types of Chemical Bonds

Learning Goals:

By the end of this lesson, I will be able to:

• Explain the formation of covalent bonds.

• Use electronegativity values to predict whether an ionic or covalent bond is most likely to form.

• Identify compounds as ionic, covalent, or metallic based on their chemical formula.

*The learning goals descriptions are taken and reworded/simplified from Ontario Curriculum booklet. Codes inside the brackets refer to the sections of Ontario Curriculum for Science Course.

Success Criteria:

I can

1. Explain the formation of covalent bonds.

2. Use electronegativity values to predict whether an ionic or covalent bond is most likely to form.

3. Identify compounds as ionic, covalent, or metallic based on their chemical formula.
