A differentiated worksheet I made for students to practice drawing ions and identifying charges on ions ready to move on to ionic bonding. Suitable for all chemistry and combined science exam boards.

I used this to teach Group 1 metals for some of my Y9 SEN students. AQA spec

Please feel free to modify this lesson for your own use but do not upload it to TES as this is my work. A PowerPoint that will run for a whole lesson with accompanying worksheet.

Recaps Basic atomic structure Groups and periods Group 0 Introduces Why atoms form bonds Types of bonding Provides practice for Identifying bonding types Explaining why bonds form Explaining why group 0 are unreactive
