Students will learn about the mechanisms of chemical bonding and will explain their conclusions in writing using the language of science (octet rule, valence electrons, covalent bonds, ionic bonds), sentence starters, and manipulatives.
Questions:
- List 2 differences between ionic bonds and covalent bonds. (book or brain)
- What does an ionic bond look like? (book/brain)
- Which do you think is stronger--covalent or ionic bonds? (brain)
