Intro to Bonding - Teacher

Activity 5-1: Intro to Bonding WebquestIntroduction:Understanding the making and breaking of chemical bonds is essential to studying a chemicalreaction. Bonding is a relationship between atoms in chemical compounds. Your goal in thiswebquest is to adequately describe METALLIC, IONIC, NONPOLAR COVALENT and POLARCOVALENT BONDS. You will describe each in terms of an analogous relationship from a GREATbook or a well known movie, while also providing illustrations of each bonding type.The Tasks:Take a piece of paper and fold it into four blocks. One block must be labeled METALLIC, and theothers are labeled IONIC, NONPOLAR COVALENT and POLAR COVALENT BONDS. Each type ofbond must contain the following information.A. Bonding TypeB. Sketch of the BondC. Description(1) Type of atoms involved(2) Relationship to electronegativity values(3) Characteristics of the bond(4) ANALOGOUS RELATIONSHIP:Think back to all those great literature courses you have had over the years.Using characters from those, describe the bonding type in terms of thecharacters of a play, novel, or short story.Resources: (Feel free to explore other cites. I have listed some cites that provide a few animationsto help you understand the basics for this topic.)Chemical BondingExplore the different kinds of chemical bonding through text and simulation, with additional linksfor further exploration. Make sure to do the simulations.1. http://www.chem4kids.com/files/atom_bonds.html2. http://www.visionlearning.com/library/module_viewer.php?mid=55&l=&c33. http://www.chemguide.co.uk/atoms/bondingmenu.html#top4. http://enstrophy.colorado.edu/~mohseni/ASEN5519Spring2004/TypesOfChemicalBonds1.html5. http://library.thinkquest.org/3659/structures/Under Chemical Bonding: Introduction – follow the links for ionic compounds, covalentcompounds, and electronegativity and polarity of bonds.

What are valence electrons? What is polarity? Are theresimilarities between covalent and ionic bonds? This site answers these questions and many more.10. http://chemed.chem.purdue.edu/genchem/topicreview/bp/ch8/valenceframe.htmlAtomic Structure and BondingUnderstanding the making and breaking of chemical bonds is essential to studying a chemicalreaction. A good introduction to basic bonding.11. http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/vrchemistry/electronsandbonds/intro1.htmGo through pages 1 and 2 of the introduction12. http://www.tutorvista.com/content/chemistry/chemistry-i/chemical-bonding/covalentbond-animation.phpNote that on the right bottom you can also select the various types of covalent bonds.Evaluation:DescriptionArtAnalogyPresentationLinus Pauling BS Chemist Joe AverageThe bond description iscomplete and detailed.Beautiful.The instructorwill hang on hisrefrigerator.The literary reference isappropriate and wellknown.Your group presents yourposter in outstandingfashion.The bond descriptionlacks specific details.Your mother loves it andposts it in the living room.The analogy pertains torelationships betweenfamily, friends, or generic.Your group does not detailyour discoveries oranalogies.The description containserrors, or is very lackingin detail.Lacks, or creative detail.The analogy is incorrect,or not descriptive of thebond.Your group shows youposter and sits down.Conclusions: On the completion of this project the student will understand bonding and assimilate the terminology into theirvocabulary. It is the hope that through this activity students will have a complete and detailed view of chemical bonding.
