Use this to help chemistry students accurately apply covalent bonding models

Researchers have found that pupils persistently describe ionic compounds using covalent bonding ideas. They considered what this might mean for instruction and the curriculum. In this article, principal teaching fellow in chemistry at the University of Southampton, David Read, unpacks their findings and points to how they could be applied to improve your teaching of chemistry.
