Students should be able to...
-
Define:
chemical bond, ionic, covalent, metallic, diatomic,
polar, nonpolar, VSEPR, dipole-dipole forces, Hydrogen “bonding”,
and London dispersion forces
-
Use
bonding triangles and electronegativity
to determine the type of bond formed between
two elements
-
Know
which elements are diatomic.
-
Draw
Lewis structures for covalent molecules, including double and triple
bonds.
-
Draw
Lewis structures for polyatomic ions
-
Use
VSEPR chart to determine molecular geometry.
(For additional assistance,
an online 3-D lab is available)
-
Use
VSEPR chart to write Lewis structures that include bond angles.
-
Identify
molecules as polar or nonpolar
-
Distinguish
between intermolecular and intramolecular attractions
-
Understand
the expansion of ice due to hydrogen bonding.
