- Lesson 01 - What are chemical bonds? Lesson Plan Lesson Title
- Recap atomic stability being having a full outer shell of electrons.
- There are three types of strong chemical bonds: ionic, covalent and metallic.
ALTERNATIVE activity - independent thinking.- Suggested Activity:
Give students several diagrams each showing an electronic configuration of a different atom. Some metals and some non-metals.
Start with group 7 and group 1 elements - how could they interact to get a full outer shell?
Next do group 6 and group 2.
GF: group 6 and group 1.
Move on to two group 7 - how could they interact to get a full outer shell?
GF: two group 6.
Finally, two group 1 elements - cannot interact so electron delocalises.Equipment Required:

- Lesson 03 - What are ionic compounds? Lesson Plan Lesson Title
- An ionic compound is a giant structure of ions.
- Ionic compounds are held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
- These forces act in all directions in the lattice: this is called ionic bonding.
- Suggested Activity:

Students convert ideas into a diagram and extend themselves by using this to explain properties.
- Suggested Activity:
- The structure of sodium chloride can be represented in the following forms: ball and stick giant lattice and charged ion ionic lattice.
- Suggested Activity:
Back to back: in pairs each takes a turn at describing one type of model, limiting use of key terms.
- Suggested Activity:
- Students should be able to deduce that a compound is ionic from a diagram of its structure in one of the specified forms
- Students should be able to describe the limitations of using dot and cross, ball and stick, two and three-dimensional diagrams to represent a giant ionic structure.
- Suggested Activity:
