Classroom Resources: Molecules & Bonding

1 – 6 of 6 Classroom Resources

• 

  Chemistry Basics, Physical Properties, Physical Change, Observations, Identifying an Unknown, Lab Safety, Molecular Shapes, Covalent Bonding, Ionic Bonding, Intermolecular Forces, Molecular Motion | High School

  Animation: Physical Properties and Particle Interaction Animation

  This animation explores the relationship between physical properties and particle-level interactions. Particle diagrams of common household substances are used to illustrate that forces of attraction influence melting points. Similarly, particle diagrams of the same substances dissolved in water are used to compare their conductivity in solution. This animation was featured in the November 2023 issue of Chemistry Solutions. **This video has no audio**

  Activity: Animation Activity: Physical Properties and Particle Interaction

  In this activity, students will view an animation that explores the relationship between physical properties and particle-level interactions. Particle diagrams of common household substances are used to illustrate that forces of attraction influence melting points. Similarly, particle diagrams of the same substances dissolved in water are used to compare their conductivity in solution.

• 

  Molecular Motion, Temperature, Observations, Inferences | Elementary School

  Demonstration: How Does Temperature Affect Water Molecules?

  In this demonstration, students will observe models to better understand that temperature affects molecular movements.

• 

  Molecular Motion, Molecular Motion | High School

  Activity: The Molecule Dance

  In this activity, students will explain bond and molecular movements by mimicking molecular motion with their own movements.

• 

  Intermolecular Forces, Intermolecular Forces, Polarity, Molecular Motion, Molecular Motion, Physical Properties | High School

  Activity: Simulation Activity: Comparing Attractive Forces

  In this activity, students will use a simulation to investigate different types of intermolecular forces (London dispersion, induced dipole, and hydrogen bonding). In the analysis that follows the activity, they will relate IMFs (also including dipole-dipole) to physical properties (boiling point, solubility, and vapor pressure). This activity and simulation are appropriate for students in any level chemistry course.

  Simulation: Comparing Attractive Forces

  In the November 2014 issue, students explore the different attractive foreces between pairs of molecules by dragging the "star" image. In the accompanying activity, students investigate different types of intermolecular forces (London dispersion and dipole-dipole). In the analysis that follows the investigation, they relate IMFs (including hydrogen bonding) to physical properties (boiling point and solubility).
