NEW AQA 9-1 Chemistry Topic 2 - Ions, ionic bonding and properties of ionic compounds

A series of lessons looking at the formation of ions, describing how ionic bonds are formed alongside drawing dot and cross diagrams, working out the formula of an ionic compound from a lattice diagram and the charges on the ions and properties of ionic compounds. The powerpoint features a lot of worked examples and plenty of opportunity for student practice with questions that progress from simple to more complex examples. Lesson features include:

• A 10 question starter quiz based on previous learning with animated answers (questions based on Topic 1 - atomic structure)
• Slides recapping prior learning on electron configurations leading to how metal and non-metal ions are formed with step-by-step scaffolding provided. Students complete questions based around drawing ions and describing how ions have formed based on the charge
• Slides introducing how ionic compounds are formed with a discussion question of a dot and cross diagram. This has been animated to allow the teacher to talk through step-by-step what is taking place. There are more worked examples and numerous questions on drawing dot and cross diagrams are incorporated into the presentation
• Slides guiding pupils on how to work out the ionic formula, looking at non-metal ions consisting of 1 element initially before progressing to non-metal ions involving two elements where brackets are used
• A modelling task to build a 3D giant ionic lattice and opportunity to describe the structure with structured sentence starters provided
• A link to an engaging video looking at melting salt to introduce properties of ionic compounds
• A review task with success criteria summarising ions, ionic bonding diagrams and structure and properties of ionic compounds
• Numerous review question slides with animated answers
