SC.912.P.8.6

Distinguish between bonding forces holding compounds together and other attractive forces, including hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces.
General Information
Subject Area: Science
Grade: 912
Body of Knowledge: Physical Science
Idea: Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts
Standard: Matter -

A. A working definition of matter is that it takes up space, has mass, and has measurable properties. Matter is comprised of atomic, subatomic, and elementary particles.

B. Electrons are key to defining chemical and some physical properties, reactivity, and molecular structures. Repeating (periodic) patterns of physical and chemical properties occur among elements that define groups of elements with similar properties. The periodic table displays the repeating patterns, which are related to the atom's outermost electrons. Atoms bond with each other to form compounds.

C. In a chemical reaction, one or more reactants are transformed into one or more new products. Many factors shape the nature of products and the rates of reaction.

D. Carbon-based compounds are building-blocks of known life forms on earth and numerous useful natural and synthetic products.

Lesson Plans

Ionic Bonding Mates:

This activity addresses the part of the standard that focuses on only one type of bonding, ionic bonding. In this engaging activity, students will find several bonding mates. Students will use their knowledge of ions to practice writing formulas for ionic compounds. Students will collaborate with their peers as they look to make bonds. Students will complete the table and discuss how to name the ionic compounds. Students will complete this activity with a greater understanding of the formation of ionic bonds.

Type: Lesson Plan

I-on-it (Ionic) or not?:

In this physically engaging activity students will debate with their peers whether a randomly drawn statement/diagram/compound name or formula applies to ionic bonds, covalent bonds or both types of bonds. Then sort themselves throughout the room accordingly. Peer support and collaboration are encouraged while the teacher facilitates proper placement. Activity concludes with a T chart graphic organizer and a writing assignment where students personify the bond types.

Type: Lesson Plan

A Bright Idea:

Students will look for a correlation between pH and conductivity. They will also compare ionic, molecular, and solids for conductivity. The procedure provided above is a guided, step-by-step presentation. Remove steps to achieve the level of inquiry desired for your class.

Tutorial

Water:

This tutorial will help the learners to understand the molecular structure of the water molecule, its inter- and intra-molecular bonds, and the formation of hydroxide ions.

Type: Tutorial

Video/Audio/Animation

Shapes of Molecules:

  • Differentiate between electron pair and molecular geometry
  • Learn how to name electron pair and molecular geometries for molecules with up to six electron groups around the central atom
  • Illustrate how electron pair repulsion affects bond angles

Type: Video/Audio/Animation

Virtual Manipulative

Atomic Interactions:

In this simulation, explore the interactions between various combinations of two atoms. Specific features of the simulation allows you to see either the total force acting on the atoms or the individual attractive and repulsive forces.

Options for learning:

  • Explain how attractive and repulsive forces govern the interaction between atoms.
  • Describe the effect of potential well depth on atomic interactions.
  • Describe the process of bonding between atoms in terms of energy.

WebQuest

Intermolecular Forces: A Jigsaw Activity:

This jigsaw activity is designed as a cooperative learning activity used to introduce the idea of intermolecular forces. Intermolecular forces are the types of attractive forces that occur between molecules in a solid, liquid, or gas. Each force causes different physical properties of matter. Each member of the group will become an expert on one type of force and then teach the rest of the group.
