Covalent Naming and Bonding, Metallic Bonding and VSEPR (6 days)
Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)
The student knows and understands the historical development of atomic theory. The student is expected to:
(6E) express the arrangement of electrons in atoms through electron configurations and Lewis valence electron dot structures (RS).
(7A) name covalent compounds, acids, and bases, using International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature rules (RS); (7B) write the chemical formulas of covalent compounds, acids, and bases (RS); (7C) construct electron dot formulas to illustrate and covalent bonds (RS);
(7E) predict molecular structure for molecules with linear, trigonal planar, or tetrahedral electron pair geometries using Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory. (6E) express the arrangement of electrons in atoms through electron configurations and Lewis valence electron dot structures (RS).
PAP only: Molecular Polarity (CCRS – VII.D.1) Characterize ionic bonds, metallic bonds, and covalent bonds. Describe the properties of metals and ionic and covalent compounds. PAP only: Intermolecular Forces (CCRS – VII.I.7) Describe intermolecular forces. |
