BIOChemistry: A simple Chemistry Review
Webquest Activity
Let’s refresh our memory of chemistry! All the concepts below were taught in Integrated
Science. Use any internet resource to find the answers. You will need at least one sheet of
paper for each of the three sections below. Today is the only day we have in the library, so, use
your time wisely. I will be watching to see what webpages you are visiting. Remember to
C3B4ME! Good Luck!!
“If you do what you have always done, you’ll get what you have always
gotten.” Tony Robbins
a. Subatomic particles
1. Identify subatomic particles and describe how they are arranged in atoms.
2. Define each subatomic particle.
3. Draw a diagram showing the subatomic particles.
b. Ions and Atoms
1. Define an ion
2. Define atoms.
3. Use a Venn Diagram or T-table to compare and contrast ion and atoms. Remember that each section of the Venn
Diagram needs at least 3 examples.
c. Chemical Bonds
1. Define each type of chemical bond.
2. Draw a diagram showing each type of chemical bond.
3. Give an example of compounds representing the different bond types.
4. Make a classification system that you could use to classify compounds.
5. Explain the forces that hold the bonds together.
6. Which type of bond is the strongest?
7. Which type of bond is the weakest?
8. Then complete a Venn Diagram or T-table to compare and contrast the different types of chemical bonds. Remember
that each section of the Venn Diagram needs at least 3 examples.

The links on this page are disabled, except at the very bottom were the bonding couples games
links are with animations. Those are very useful.
