- I can use periodic trends to predict the bonding between two elements. #dok2
- I can construct an argument to support how trends like electronegativity allow us to predict the type of chemical bonding (ionic, covalent, or metallic) that occurs between elements. #dok3
Big Ideas
- Periodic trends, such as electronegativity, help scientists predict the nature of chemical bonding between elements.
- Analyzing the periodic table allows us to explain and justify why elements form certain types of bonds with one another.
Essential Questions
- How does electronegativity vary across periods and down groups in the Periodic Table?
- Why are periodic trends important in predicting the behavior of elements during chemical bonding?
- What evidence supports the relationship between electronegativity and bonding type?
- How can we defend our predictions about bonding between elements using periodic trends?
- How do differences in electronegativity lead to different types of chemical bonds?
