Chemical Bonding

You learned one way that atoms combine to form molecules (elements combine to form compounds), yesterday. Follow these links and instructions to compare and contrast ionic and covalent bonding.

1. Diagram in your science journal: Covalent and Ionic Bonds
2. Go to Discovery Science and follow the links under "Physical Science" to research chemical bonding. After watching a video on chemical bonding, write a paragraph describing how elements combine to form compounds.
3. Try these links to expand your understanding of chemical bonds.
