Naming Compounds, Ionic Bonding, Lewis Structures | Middle School, High School
Activity: Ionic Bonding Puzzle
In this activity, students match puzzle pieces to create neutral ionic compounds. Once they have made a neutral ionic compound they can use electron dot diagrams to show the formation of the compounds. Finally they will name the ionic compounds.
-
Periodic Table, Covalent Bonding, Ionic Bonding, Electron Configuration, Atomic Radius, Electrons, Orbitals | High School
Activity: Planet P-10
In this activity, students will create a periodic table using orbital rules from a planet called P-10 and identify periodic trends and bonding rules.
-
Polarity, Molecular Formula, Covalent Bonding, Ionic Bonding | Elementary School, Middle School, High School
Animation: Bonding Animation
In this animation, students will visualize how different chemical bonds form. Examples of ionic, covalent, and polar covalent bonds are animated, and then students are given a sample of compounds to predict the bonding types. **This video has no audio**
-
Molecular Formula, Covalent Bonding, Ionic Bonding | High School
Lab: Lego Modeling of Compounds
In this lab, students build Lego models of ionic and covalent compounds.
-
Intermolecular Forces, Polarity, Covalent Bonding, Ionic Bonding, Electronegativity, Metallic Bonding | High School
Activity: James Bonded
In this activity, students create a video of collisions that represent chemical reactions.
-
Naming Compounds, Molecular Formula, Periodic Table, Covalent Bonding, Ionic Bonding, Valence Electrons, Subatomic Particles, Lewis Dot Diagrams, Molecular Geometry, Ions, Lewis Structures | Middle School, High School
Activity: Simulation Activity: Ionic and Covalent Bonding
In this simulation, students investigate both ionic and covalent bonding. Students will have the opportunity to interact with many possible combinations of atoms and will be tasked with determining the type of bond and the number of atom needed to form each. The simulation visually differentiates between the transferring of electrons when forming an ionic compound and the sharing of electrons when forming a covalent compound so that students can have a complete understanding of each. Finally, students will become familiar with the molecular formula, as well as the naming system for each type of bond and geometric shape, when applicable.
-
Covalent Bonding, Ionic Bonding, Conductivity | High School
Lab: Strong and Weak Electrolytes
In this lab, students will analyze the conductivity of several common household solutions using a light emitting conductivity diode tester to determine if the solution is a strong or weak electrolyte. Students will interpret the brightness of the lightbulb to determine the strength of the electrolyte. Students will also have an opportunity to consider the connection between conductivity and bond type during this lab.
-
Naming Compounds, Molecular Formula, Covalent Bonding, Ionic Bonding, Molar Mass | High School
Activity: Formula Card Game
In this activity, students play a card game to practice creating chemical formulas.
-
Naming Compounds, Ionic Bonding, Intramolecular Forces, Ions | High School
Activity: Constructing Ionic Compounds
In this activity, students will construct ionic compounds by balancing the charges on cations and anions.
-
Molecular Formula, Periodic Table, Covalent Bonding, Ionic Bonding | High School
Activity: Bondy (Rummy)
In this activity, students play a game in which they use element cards to form compounds.
-
Solubility, Covalent Bonding, Precipitate, Ionic Bonding, Molecular Structure, Solute & Solvent, Saturated/Unsaturated/Supersaturated | Middle School, High School
Lab: Benzoic Acid Blizzard in a Bottle
In this lab, students create a snow globe by taking advantage of benzoic acid’s solubility properties in hot water.
-
Naming Compounds, Molecular Formula, Periodic Table, Covalent Bonding, Ionic Bonding, Valence Electrons, Subatomic Particles, Lewis Dot Diagrams, Molecular Geometry, Ions, Lewis Structures | Middle School, High School
Simulation: Ionic & Covalent Bonding
In the September 2016 simulation, students investigate both ionic and covalent bonding. Students will have the opportunity to interact with many possible combinations of atoms and will be tasked with determining the type of bond and the number of atom needed to form each. Students will become familiar with the molecular formula, as well as the naming system for each type of bond and geometric shape, when applicable.
