    • Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.
    • Covalent compounds (molecules) have weak intermolecular forces.
    • Covalent compounds usually have low melting points.
    • Covalent compounds are poor conductors of electricity.
    • A molecule is a group of atoms held together by covalent bonds.

    ###Recap: The structure of Atoms

    • Atoms are the smallest part of an element that retains its chemical identity.
    • Atoms have protons, neutrons, and electrons.
    • Protons and neutrons form the nucleus.
    • Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge.
    • Electron shells surround the nucleus.
    • The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom.
    • The mass number represents the sum of protons and neutrons.
    • Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.

    ###Recap: How are electrons arranged in atoms?

    • Electrons fill electron shells from the inside out.
    • The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell up to 8 electrons and the third up to 8 as well.
    • Electron configuration represents how many electrons are in each shell.
    • Electron configuration is written in notation (e.g., 2.8.8).
    • The group number represents the number of valence electrons.

    ###Activity: Electron structure

    • Valence electrons are responsible for chemical bonding.
    • Valence electrons and group number correlate directly.

    ###Recap: Drawing electron configurations

    • The octet rule dictates that the first electron shell holds 2 electrons, the second holds 8 and the third holds up to 8.
    • Electron configurations are based on the number of protons in the nucleus.

    ###Atoms to Ions

    • Atoms are electrically neutral.
    • Ions are charged.
    • Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons.
    • An ion may be an atom or a molecule with a net electrical charge.
    • A cation is positively charged, an anion negatively charged.

    ###Activity: Electron configuration diagrams

    • Electron configuration diagrams represent the arrangement of electrons in an atom or ion.
    • diagrams show the arrangement of protons, electrons, and atomic number for elements (e.g. sodium, magnesium and chlorine). Correct number of protons, electrons and atomic number provided for each element

    ###Why do ions form?:

    • Atoms are held together by strong attractive forces.
    • Positively charged nucleus is surrounded by negatively charged electrons within the atoms.
    • The number of protons increases as you move across a period in the Periodic Table.
    • Force of attraction between an electrons and nucleus increases moving left to right.

    ###Ionic compounds:

    • Ionic compounds are formed from oppositely charged ions.
    • Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
    • Ionic compounds are typically solid at room temperature, and have high melting points.

    ###Activity: The formation of ionic compounds

    • lonic Compounds are formed from oppositely charged ions.
    • lonic compounds have formulas based on opposite electrostatic forces of a crystal.
    • Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred between atoms

    ###Ionic compounds (properties)

    • Properties can be used to distinguish substances.
    • The physical and chemical properties of each substance provide means of identification.
    • Ionic compounds are typically solids at room temperature with predictable properties such as high melting points, brittleness, and the ability to conduct electricity when molten or dissolved in water.

    ###Why do ionic compounds conduct electricity?

    • Solid ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because the ions are not free to move.
    • Molten ionic compounds or ionic compounds dissolved in water conduct electricity because the ions are free to move.

    ###Solubility of ionic compounds

    • Solubility rules allow predicting the likelihood of certain ionic compounds dissolving in water.
    • Factors like the anion and cation of the compound in question will determine its ability to dissolve.

    ###Activity: Which ionic compounds dissolve in water?

    • Predicting whether an ionic compound will dissolve in water is dependent on the ions involved.

    ###Covalent molecular compounds

    • Covalent compounds are molecules composed of atoms covalently bonded to each other.
    • molecules held together by intermolecular forces.
    • Covalent compounds have low melting points, and are usually liquids or gases at room temperature.

    ###Properties of covalent molecular compounds

    • Molecular compounds have low melting and boiling points.
    • Covalent compounds are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity.
    • intermolecular forces are too weak to hold particles together in a particular arrangement at high temperatures.

    ###Structure and bonding of metals

    • Metals are made up of positive ions arranged in a lattice.
    • Metals have freely moving electrons.
    • Metals conduct electricity because electrons are delocalized throughout the metallic structure.
    • Metals are malleable and ductile due to the mobile electrons allowing layers of ions to slide past each other.

    Properties of metals

    • Metals have high melting points that require a significant amount of energy to break the strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
    • Metals are good electrical and thermal conductors.
    • Metals are malleable and ductile which is a consequence of their structure allowing layers to slide over each other.

    ###lonic, covalent and metallic bonding summary

    • Provides a summary of the key differences between ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding in terms of structure, bonding, melting points, conductivity, and malleability.

    ###Activity: Explanations

    • Explaining the difference in melting points of ionic compounds versus covalent compounds, and describing the relationship between the properties and the structure and bonding of copper and water.

    ###Practical - Comparing chemical properties

    • The practical will show how to identify and compare the chemical properties of ionic, covalent and metallic substances.

    ###Summary questions

    • Classify different chemical substances based on their composition (e.g., metallic, ionic, or covalent) and identify the type of bonding involved.
    • Explain why some ionic compounds have notably higher melting points than others, and why specific compounds conduct electricity in some states and not others.
