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, properties, electronegativity), sentence starters, and manipulatives.
Questions:
- What are the properties of ionic bonds? (book)
- What are the properties of covalent bonds? (book)
- Which type of bond do you think involves more energy? Explain your thinking. (brain)
