Bonding, Formulas & Molecular Structure — Chapter overview · Physical Science: Chemistry, Grade 11
Build names, formulas, Lewis structures, and structure-property explanations.
Chapter question
How do electron interactions determine a material’s properties?
Units in this chapter
- Unit 3.1 · Ionic Bonding
I can explain how atoms transfer electrons to form cations and anions, and predict a monatomic ion's charge from its group.
- Unit 3.2 · Covalent Bonding
I can explain how nonmetal atoms share electron pairs to form single, double, and triple covalent bonds and complete their octets.
- Unit 3.3 · Metallic Bonding
I can describe metallic bonding using the electron-sea model of positive ions in a shared pool of delocalized electrons.
- Unit 3.4 · Molecular Geometry & Polarity
I can use VSEPR theory to predict the shape of a simple molecule from its bonding groups and lone pairs.
- Unit 3.5 · Chemical Names, Formulas & Polyatomic Ions
I can write neutral ionic formulas with polyatomic ions.
- Unit 3.6 · Lewis Structures, Resonance & Bond Models
I can count valence electrons and check a Lewis structure’s total charge.
