1. Topic-
Introduction to Ionic Bonding
 
2. Content-
Introduction to ionic bonding including the octet rule, anions, cations and ionic compounds.

Key Vocabulary:
valence electrons, electron dot structures, octet rule, halide ions, ionic compounds, ionic bonds, chemical formula, formula unit, coordination number
 
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
Understanding of the octet rule, how atoms bond with one another and properties of those compounds.
 
4. Objectives-
1.Students will be able to recognize the electron structure of an atom.
2.Students will be able to explain how atoms bond with one another and the properties of those elements.
 
5. Materials and Aids-
Textbook, Computer(APEX program), Periodic Table of Elements.
 
6. Procedures/Methods-

A. Introduction-

1.Discussion over the Periodic Table and how it shows the electron structures of elements.
2.Give examples of how elements bond together and what properties the resulting compounds will have.
 

B. Development-
