Teaching the bonding spectrum

Everything you need to teach post-16 learners bonding, electronegativity and intermolecular forces. Display the poster in your classroom and use the fact sheet to help your students understand the different types of chemical bond, from pure covalent to ionic, including London dispersion forces, van der Waals, dipole–dipole and hydrogen. Download the accompanying classroom activity to demonstrate the interplay between physical properties and bonding type, the trends in electronegativity across the periods and down the groups, and intermolecular forces.
