Wednesday, Oct. 22nd: Ionic Bonds

Big Idea: Taking away or adding electrons to an atom creates an ION of that element.
Can you explain the difference between a molecular covalent bond, a metallic bond, and an ionic bond?

1. Finish Notes #7: Atomic Bonds
2. Chemcatalyst, pg. 99 Noble Gas Envy
3. Hand out half-sheets of paper; each student draw just ONE atom; indicate whether electron(s) need to be added or subtracted. Place in order of periodic table (in columns) on the white board. What do you notice? (NO WORKSHEET)
4. Go over Noble Gas Envy drawings, explain what cations and anions are.
5. Start Notes #8: Ionic Bonds
6. Preview upcoming homework.

Homework: pgs. 101-102, text.
