This is a brilliant, two-page ionic bonding worksheet that is suitable for GCSE, IGCSE and MYP students.
The worksheet comes with full solutions and has been hand-made and checked by me (I’m a high school chemistry teacher with 15 years of experience).
In the worksheet, students have to fill in the blanks, add electrons to shells and draw a full diagram.
This is basically a big collection of worksheets that covers the entire content from a typical IGCSE Edexcel Chemistry first year class (i.e. Year 10 in the British system). This workbook has massive crossover with other IGCSE Chemistry and GCSE chemistry syllabuses.
Guaranteed to:
Save you planning time
Provide meaningful material for homework or classwork
Can be set in sequence as separate assignments or could even be printed out in entirety and given to students at the start of the academic year.
Topics covered:
Particle Theory
Density, pressure and diffusion
Changes of state (solids, liquids and gases)
Cooling curves
Mixtures
Separating mixtures (chromatography, distillation, filtration and crystallization)
Atomic structure (including isotopes, RAM, electronic configurations. relative isotopic mass, relative molecular mass, relative formula mass and molar mass)
Writing and balancing equations
Molar calculations (including The Mole, Empirical Formula, Molecular Formula, Reacting Mass Calculations, Percentage Yield
Ionic bonding
Covalent bonding (including ‘dot and cross’ diagrams and ‘giant’ structures)
Metallic bonding
Electrolysis (solutions and molten compounds)
The periodic table (groups and periods)
Group 1
Group 7
Oxygen chemistry
Carbon dioxide chemistry
Hydrogen chemistry
Reactivity series (including ‘galvanising’ and ‘sacrificial protection’
Extraction of metals
Crude oil
The only disadvantages of this resource are:
It’s a big word document so might need a little tidying-up prior to printing
There’s no answers with it yet (but I’m working on that)
