Learning Intentions

• You can identify the goal of all atoms and describe what they do to achieve the goal.

• You can identify the different types of bonds and the simplest way to distinguish them.

• You can classify substances as molecules, molecular compounds, ions and ionic compounds.

• You can determine the type of bonds found in molecules, molecular compounds, ions and ionic compounds

Content Standards being covered:

*Student understands why bonding (intramolecular forces) occurs between atoms, what types of bonds form when different elements interact, how the bonds form and properties that arise as a result of the bond forming.

108. The “Octet Rule” states that an atom is trying to fill its valence shell/ energy level to reach this amount (8 electrons)
109. An atom’s reactivity is related to its number of valence electrons and how far those electrons are from the nucleus
110. Metals and Nonmetals will form ionic compounds when they come together
111. Nonmetals and Nonmetals will form molecular compounds bonded by covalent bonds
116. An ion is a charged atom- it becomes charged by either losing or gaining electrons
117. Metals tend to lose electrons and form cations which are positively charged ions
118. Nonmetals tend to gain electrons and form anions which are negatively charged particles
