Covalent Bonding
Ionic Bonding
Other Video Content Videos
Other Video Content Videos
These videos are NOT required, but do offer a different perspective on the topic if that helps!
CrashCourse - a general discussion of bonding and why it happens with the regular entertainment value that the team at CrashCourse offers
Tyler DeWitt - part 2 of Tyler's discussion on ionic bonding that focuses on electron configurations as an explanation for why these bonds form
Don't Memorise - Straightforward and short talk on the basics of covalent bonding.
Fuse School - A very visual walkthrough of the concept. Good for seeing bonding in action, but probably not too helpful for getting notes.
Written Content
Written Content
The links below are sites with written descriptions of this content. Some prefer to learn from reading rather than watching. If that helps you these resources can be useful!
Boundless Chemistry - discussion of ionic bonds with an introduction to lattice crystals
Annenberg Learner - an interactive tool that offers practice on determining formulas of ionic compounds from charges
LibreText - Chemistry - Online textbook that does a great job explaining covalent bonding!
CK-12 - Another online textbook with a lot of great, innovative features. Very easy-to-follow discussion of covalent bonding here!
Resources
Bonding Data Table - This table contains information normally used to name chemical compounds, but is helpful in this section when writing formulas for ionic compounds.
Class Practice
Practice 1 - Identify compounds as IONIC or COVALENT (this prac is easy!)
Practice 2 - Write formulas for COVALENT compounds (this prac is much easier. Maybe try this first?)
Practice 3 - Write formulas for IONIC compounds (this prac is a little harder and involves some simple math)
Use the link above to find instructions for the lab activity for this section.
You will be conducting an experiment to measure the properties of some know ionic and covalent compounds to see if you identify the types of bonds used in a substance just by those properties.
Mastery Quiz
Mastery Quiz
To prove mastery of this topic you will need to take a quiz on Schoology. Here are the guidelines:
You must show me all the completed work for this section BEFORE you you can start attempts on this quiz.
You CANNOT work with others on the quiz.
You CAN use ANY class resources like a calculator, your periodic table, or any other reference materials. These are often lined on the quiz itself.
You should also have you Nomenclature Summary Doc you made for ht lab activity in this section.
You have 5 attempts to pass this quiz.
Do NOT take multiple attempts at once if you are not sure why you got questions wrong.
Do NOT take another attempt if you got the same grade again.
DO see Mr. Kiefer for help and to go over previous quiz attempts.
You should only need 2-3 tries for each quiz. If it takes more than that you should be reaching out for help!
