S1+Chemical+Bonds


 * Notes**


 * 6.1 Ionic Bonding**

__Objectives__:

1. Recognize stable electron configurations. 2. Predict an element's chemical properties using number of valence electrons and electron dot diagrams. 3. Describe how an ionic bond forms and how ionization energy affects the process. 4. Predict the composition of an ionic compound from its chemical formula. 5. Relate the properties of ionic compounds to the structure of crystal lattices.


 * 6.2 Covalent Bonding **

__Objectives__:

1. Describe how covalent bonds form and the attraction that keep atoms together in molecules. 2. Compare polar and nonpolar bonds, and demonstrate how polar bonds affect the polarity of a molecule. 3. Compare the attractions between polar and nonpolar molecules.


 * 6.3 Naming Compounds and Writing Formulas **

__Objectives__:

1. Recognize and describe binary ionic compounds, metals with multiple ions, and polyatomic ions. 2. Name and determine chemical formulas for ionic and molecular compounds.


 * 6.4 The Structure of Metals**

__Objectives__:

1. Describe the structure and strength of bonds in metals. 2. Define an alloy and demonstrate how the composition of an alloy affects its properties.
