Chapter 4 Chemical Bonding

Description

48-slide, detailed A Level Chemistry PowerPoint on Chapter 4: Chemical Bonding The deck includes: Ionic, covalent and co-ordinate bonding Dot-and-cross diagrams and exam checkpoints Bond energy and bond length VSEPR, molecular shapes and bond angles σ and π bonding and hybridisation Metallic bonding and structure–property explanations Electronegativity, bond polarity and molecular polarity London forces, permanent dipole forces and hydrogen bonding Water’s anomalous properties Conductivity, solubility, melting/boiling-point reasoning Class activities, retrieval tasks, misconception checks and exam-style stations A final knowledge organiser and resource launchpad As well as clickable links throughout, including PhET Molecule Shapes, PhET Molecule Polarity, MolView and PubChem interactive resources. PhET’s polarity simulation specifically allows students to manipulate electronegativity, inspect bond/molecular dipoles and work with real molecules. Also included linked RSC laboratory and demonstration activities, such as conductivity testing, charged-water-jet polarity, surface tension and thermal properties of water.
