Topic C1g: Covalent bonding (Edexcel iGCSE Chemistry)

This bundle of 4 lessons covers the majority of the content in Topic C1g (Covalent bonding) of the Edexcel iGCSE Chemistry specification. The topics and specification points covered within these lessons include:

• Know that covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons
• Be able to draw dot and cross diagrams for a range of structures involving covalent bonds
• Describe the structure of simple covalent substances and relate this to their properties
• Explain why substances with giant covalent structures are solids with high melting and boiling points
• Explain how the structures of diamond, graphite and buckminsterfullerene affects their physical properties

All of these lesson presentations and accompanying resources are detailed and engaging and contain regular progress checks to allow the students to constantly assess their understanding.
