Content includes:

  • electron configuration
  • drawing and interpreting dot and cross diagrams
  • giant ionic structures
  • electrostatic forces
  • properties of ionic compounds

Also available to assess this topic

  • Review my learning worksheets: bonding worksheets available with three levels of scaffolded support to help build confidence in every learner. Additional worksheets to introduce ionic, metallic and covalent bonding are also available. Use before, during or after teaching the bonding topic to understand progress and identify misconceptions.
  • In context worksheets: ask learners to apply their knowledge of ionic bonding to the context of rubies, helping them develop their skills and prepare for examination, including calculation questions to practise mathematical skills within a genuine chemical context from everyday life.
