Unit 1 TESTS will be the first week in October. Review materials are available HERE already. Start studying!
Covalent Bonding
Ionic Bonding
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.
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. We will learn more about this in Section 2.
Class Practice
NO PRACTICE for this section!
We will work on these skills in Section 2!
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.
