This PowerPoint presentation goes through the basics of covalent bonding and is suitable for GCSE and IGCSE Level students. Covalent bonding is described as the sharing of electrons between non-metal atoms, and care is taken to deliver the material in a paced, step-by-step fashion. This PPT assumes some knowledge of ionic bonding, so if you haven’t covered that topic yet, then you might want to delete those slides after download.
Dot-and-cross diagrams are included: both with inner shells and simplified (only outer shells) formats - perfect for training students to be efficient in the exam.
Activities included (feel free to edit or modify after download):
Comparing bonding diagrams as a starter (spotting similarities and differences)
Main teaching content (beginning from first principles with simple atomic structure, leading into covalent bond formation)
Think map to compare ionic and covalent bonding (feel free to remove if needed)
Drawing dot-and-cross and stick diagrams as a plenary
***Learning outcomes are included, so this is a great ‘box ticker’ for an observation lesson. ***
