Ionic Bonding Unit Objectives
Chemistry Level 2
At the completion of this unit, students will be able to...
1. Differentiate between intra- and inter-molecular bonds/forces.
2. Identify metallic bonds and how they account for the properties of metals.
3. Explain how ionic bonds form.
4. Determine if an ionic bond will form between two atoms by using their
locations on the periodic table as well as their difference in electronegativity
values.
5. Draw Lewis dot structures for ionic compounds.
6. Name and write the chemical formulas for ionic compounds, including those
with polyatomic ions.
7. Calculate the percent composition of compounds.
8. Determine the empirical formulas of ionic compounds.
9. Explain the meaning of the laws of definite and multiple proportions and
conservation of mass.
