I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
a. Recognize different types of compounds (ionic and covalent) based on their properties such as
melting point, hardness, polarity and electrical and thermal conductivity (S9MT-IIb-14)
III. PROCEDURE
A. Preparation
Prayer
Greetings
Checking of attendance
Review past lesson
B. Motivation
The students play the game “Four Pics one Word”. This game presents four pictures and guess what
specific word fits with the theme of the photos presented.
C. Discussion
Valence electrons are the electrons involved in forming bonds to form compounds. It is
important that you know the valence electrons so that you can illustrate how bonds are formed. It is
good that you have found out that metals have low electronegativity and non-metals have high
electronegativity because this property plays an important role in forming compounds. The nature of the
interaction between the atoms depends on their relative electronegativity.
Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract electrons, the higher its
value, the higher its tendency to attract electrons. Chemical bonds are formed when valence electrons,
the electrons in the outermost electronic “shell” of an atom, interact.
Chemical bonds are forces that hold atoms together to make compounds or molecules. It is the
connection between atoms in a molecule. These bonds include both strong intramolecular interactions,
such as covalent and ionic bonds. Atoms with the largest electronegativity differences (such as metals
bonding with nonmetals), the bonding interaction is called ionic, and the valence electrons are typically
represented as being transferred from the metal atom to the nonmetal. Once the electrons have been
transferred to the non-metal, both the metal and the non-metal are considered to be ions. The two
oppositely charged ions attract each other to form an ionic compound.
Covalent bonds are a class of chemical bonds where valence electrons are shared between
two atoms, typically two nonmetals. The formation of a covalent bond allows the nonmetals to obey
the octet rule and thus become more stable.
A fluorine atom has seven valence electrons. If it shares one electron with a carbon atom (which
has four valence electrons), the fluorine will have a full octet (its seven electrons plus the one it
is sharing with carbon).
Carbon will then have five valence electrons (its four and the one its sharing with fluorine).
Covalently sharing two electrons is also known as a “single bond.” Carbon will have to form four
single bonds with four different fluorine atoms to fill its octet.
There are two types of covalent bonds: the polar bonds and the nonpolar covalent bonds. If the
electronegativity difference is equal to 0.4, it results to a nonpolar covalent bond. If the
electronegativity difference is less than 1.9 and more than 0.4, polar covalent is formed.
D. Application
The students individually do the activity given.
Directions: Compare and contrast ionic compound based on their properties such as melting point,
hardness, polarity and electrical and thermal conductivity. On the left side of the circle write all about
ionic, at the center their similarities and on the right side write all about covalent.
