Continuing Ionic Naming, Move into Covalent

Monday:
Goal: Students make lewis dot structures, and name covalent compounds.
1.) Ionic Practice Review-Warm up, Ionic Video Clip.
2.) Covalent Video Clip.
3.) Covalent Dot Structures going over example and setting working on 10 problems.
4.) Reading Assignment about Covalent bonding.

Wednesday:
Goal: Students determine structure of covalent compounds based on vsepr theory.
1.) Mixed-Review naming of ionic and covalent compounds.
2.) Show students how to make balloon models of compounds, show how balloon represents electron cloud of a bond.
3.) Show how to connect Lewis Dot Structure to balloon structure.
4.) Complete balloon lab-drawing picture and measuring angles between atoms.

Friday:
Goal: Students determine structure of covalent compounds based on vsepr theory.
Polyatomic Ion Quiz
1.) Naming Review: 2 covalent and 2 ionic.
2.) Continue going over structures and Lewis dot structures
3.) CALM Topic 6 Work.

Tuesday:
Goal: Name and describe ionic and covalent bonds.
1.) Naming review: 2 covalent and 2 ionic.
2.) Ionic Compound Naming with different. (Columns: Cation, Anion, Name of Compound, Formula)
3.) Switch with another student to get cation or anion. (Name and write formulas for at least 5 compounds, then switch your ion, then write 5 more, then switch then write five more, then switch and write five more for a total of 20 compounds).
VSEPR Reading
Determining Shape for a Covalent Compound:
Steps
1.) Determine # of Valence Electrons
2.) Determine Lewis Dot Structure.
3.) Examine the Central Atom: A=Central Atom, E=Lone Pair, X=Other things to be bonded to the central atom. Go through the examples of shapes for each situation.
4.) Writing Lewis Structures and Determine Shapes of 10 covalent compounds when done.

Thursday:
1.) Naming review: 2 covalent and 2 ionic.
2.) Around the room naming: Columns (formula, ionic or covalent, name)
3.) Lewis Structure Review: 3 problems.
4.) Student is given a nonmetal and must bond with other people's nonmetals in covalent bonds-The nonmetal information is simply (likes to form X# of bonds because of missing that many from their octet rule).
-Columns are Central Atom, Lewis structure, total valence electrons,

Monday: Describe Hydrogen Bonds, relate surface tension to intermolecular forces.
Overview of Attractions: Ionic bonds (between + and -), Covalent (fighting over electrons), Metallic (swimming in a sea of electrons), Intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonds, polar interactions).
1.) Polar Bonds determination-Examine bonds throughout the room and determine which is slightly positive, slightly negative, or nonpolar.
2.) Water notes: Shape and polar bonds of water.
3.) Paperclip competition.

Wednesday:
Naming review and vocabulary review sheet, students make notecards to review vocabulary.

-Cups as analogy for electrons and describing the different types of bonds.
-Around the room classifying compounds metallic, ionic or covalent compounds based on names of elements or nature.
-Wednesday quiz on common inner-transition metals.

Wednesday:
Metallic Compounds, Ionic Compounds, Nature and Naming.
Analyzing a food label and determine the properties of the chemicals in those foods.
Follow excel spreadsheet.
Questions: What do you notice about the melting point of ionic vs. covalent compounds?
What do you notice about the boiling point of ionic vs. covalent compounds?
What do you notice about the density of ionic vs. covalent compounds?

Friday:
Start work on naming ionic compounds and determining formulas from charges.
