OCR A Level Chemistry A New Spec (from Sept 2015) - Electron structure lesson
This is the first lesson in the Electrons, bonding and structure topic in Module 2 - Foundations in Chemistry.
The powerpoint is long and will probably take 2-3 lessons based on the ability of the class! It covers GCSE concept of electron shells compared to sub-levels, orbitals, rules for filling, short hand configurations and deciding on the blocks in the periodic table.
I have included my tip on how to best illustrate energy levels, sub-levels and orbitals in a diagram drawn on the board if you check the notes at the bottom of the slide!

OCR A Level Chemistry A New Spec (from Sept 2015) - Shapes of molecules lesson
This is lesson 4 in the Electrons, bonding and structure topic in Module 2 - Foundations in Chemistry.
The powerpoint covers bonding pairs vs lone pairs repulsion, drawing simple shapes and a rule list for helping determine how many LP and BP and therefore what shape is produced. It also goes onto multiple bonds. I encourage the use of molymod kits for this lesson too, which helps with the 3D aspect of bonding.

OCR A Level Chemistry A New Spec (from Sept 2015) - Electronegativity and IMF lessons
This is lesson 5 and 6 in the Electrons, bonding and structure topic in Module 2 - Foundations in Chemistry.
There is enough content here to easily last 2-4 lessons depending on the ability of the class!
The powerpoint starts off with a bonding pop quiz to test their recall of drawing shapes, names and bond angles then goes onto electronegativity, polar and non polar bonds.
The following lesson then covers London forces, permanent dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding and applying this to properties of water. There is also an AfL task which I set the students at the end to consolidate their understanding of intermolecular forces and looking at case studies of iodine, water and DNA.
