Chapter 12: Chemical Bonding
Purpose
Behavior of matter can be explained by interactions at the particle level.
Students will investigate and understand the organization and use of the periodic table of elements to obtain
information including the formation of compounds through ionic and covalent bonding.

Essential Understandings

Lewis dot diagrams are used to represent valence electrons in an element. Structural formulas show the
arrangements of atoms and bonds in a molecule and are represented by Lewis dot Structures.

Bonds form between atoms to achieve stability. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons
between atoms. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between ions. Elements with low
ionization energy form positive ions (cations) easily. Elements with high ionization energy form negative
ions (anions) easily. Polar bonds form between elements with very different electronegativities. Nonpolar bonds form between elements with similar electronegativities.
 Polar molecules result when electrons are distributed unequally.
Knowledge, and Skills

predict, draw, and name molecular shapes (bent, linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, and trigonal
pyramidal).

draw Lewis dot diagrams to represent valence electrons in elements and draw Lewis dot structures to
show covalent bonding.

use valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) model to draw and name molecular shapes (bent,
linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, and trigonal pyramidal).

recognize plar molecules and non-polar molecules.

identify and distinguish between ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds.
