CHEMistry: Unit 5
Covalent Bonding & Intermolecular forces
Unit 5 Student Advice:
You have to put the work in for chemistry. It’s not the kind of work where you study every night. It’s the kind of work where you pay attention in class. You have to make sure you’re reaching out for help because ms. Lemens will always have student tutors and she is a great teacher. She always finds a way to help. Make sure you reach out for help if you need it! There are always people willing to help. :) (CS, class of '23)
Chemistry may seem hard but relating it to real life scenarios helps so much, trust me. You got it! (EL, class of '24)
Pay attention! (MS, class of '24)
There is no such thing as enough practice. (OT, class of '24)
Learning Targets
I can interpret the names and formulas of molecular compounds and relate them to their geometric structure.
Explain how the attractions between particles relate to the chemical and physical properties of atoms.
