Ionic and Covalent Bonding Project
In complete, well thought out sentences, please respond to the following questions regarding Ionic and
Covalent Bonding. Please complete the Creative Product in any format you desire.
QUESTIONS
Ionic Bonding
What types of atoms typically form ionic bonds?
How are ionic bonds formed and what type of structure do they create?
What are the typical properties of ionic substances? Include the following: physical state, melting point,
solubility in water, electrical conductivity, and any other properties you’d like to include.
Create an image that you feel best represents ionic bonding.
Covalent Bonding
What types of atoms typically form covalent bonds?
How are covalent bonds formed and what types of structure do they create?
What are the typical properties of covalent substances? Include the following: physical state, melting
point, solubility in water, electrical conductivity and any other properties you’d like to include.
Explain the difference between polar and non polar covalent bonds. Be sure to
describe electromotive and the role it plays in determining which type of bond is formed.
Create an image that you feel best represents covalent bonding.
CREATIVE PRODUCT
Now that you have had the opportunity to explore the concepts of ionic and covalent bonding, lets put
your new-found knowledge to use! Choose one of the following products to demonstrate what you have
learned:
COMIC STRIP: For each type of bonding write an individual comic strip with 3+ frames. Each comic
should incorporate at least 3 properties
A MODEL : create a 3D model to represent Covalent and Ionic Bonding.
