1) Watch and take notes on this video:
Covalent And Ionic Bonding
Also, this video will help you understand VSEPR theory: VSEPR theory intro

2) Complete all of the worksheets found under 'Homework Documents'. Many of them you already received in hard copy in class, but this is a way to make sure you've completed everything.

3) Compete the Quia assignment, which can be found on your class page. It is titled 'Ionic and Covalent Bonding'. You may take it up to 3 times. You will have 45 minutes for each attempt. This must be done by Wednesday at midnight.

Make sure to bring your worksheets with you to class so that you can work with your tablemates!

See you on Thursday!

Wednesday, December 4

Sections 1, 2, 6 & 7: Complete the Molecular Model Online Lab as we discussed in class. Other than the 3 websites given, you will also find pages 197-200 in your textbook quite helpful in naming the shapes.
Also, if you go to the  'Large Molecule' tab on the simulator, you will see there are 7 kits available, making it possible for you to do every compound on the worksheet. The images below should help you find the kits.

Finally, there is a practice worksheet for the compound naming quiz under homework docs.

Section 3: Complete the two naming worksheets we started in class today. Also, here's the link for creating your sketches for the Molecular Model Online Lab:
Build a Molecule
