A. http://www.visionlearning.com/library/science/chemistry-1/CHE1.7-bonding.htm
1.
Read Introduction. What did Lewis observe about atoms and what did he suggest?
2.
Read Ionic Bonding . Explain in your own words the nature of an ionic bond.
3.
Click on the Simulation of the reaction of NaCl . There are three pages. Click on the prompt at the bottom right to go to page 2 and 3. Explain what you see.
4.
Continue reading about ionic bonding . Explain why there is no such thing as a single ionic molecule.
5.
Read Covalent Bonding . Click on the covalent bonding simulation and explain what you see.
6.
Continue reading Covalent Bonding . Explain why unlike ionic molecules covalent molecules exist.

7.
Read Multiple Bonds And Lewis Dot Structures .
Lewis structures can also be used to show
The bonding
. are placed between the atoms and can be represented by
(each dash represents one pair of electrons, or ).
Draw the Lewis dot structure of the molecular compounds- One of “Hydrogen” with single bond(s), One of “Oxygen” with double bond(s). Make statements about bond length and bond strength related to the number of bonds between atoms.
