Engaging model of ionic and covalent bonding

Keywords: bonding, model, electrons, ionic, covalent. Notes: This engaging activity makes use of very affordable and easily available ball pool balls to support whole class teaching and group work. It models what happens to the electrons during ionic and covalent bonding. Please note that this was originally published a number of years ago as part of the North Yorkshire Success for All project of which I was part and had the pleasure of working with an excellent team of teachers on resource development.
