vs Nonpolar Covalent Bonds Electronegativity
establishes the ability of 2 atoms to share electrons, either equally,
or unequally. This sharing of electrons will lead to the property of polarity
in a molecule. Students should be able to differentiate and recognize the
difference between a polar covalent bond and a non polar covalent bond.

Shapes of Molecules Covalent
bonded compounds have directional properties and have characteristic shapes
that can lead to polarity. Students should be able to demonstrate an understanding
of the five basic molecular shapes of most covalent bonded compounds.

Calculations Many chemical
reactions take place in an aqueous medium, and the driving forces behind
the reactions could be the formation of water, formation of a precipitate,
or formation of a gas.
PERFORMANCE: Lab Report with Follow-Up Quiz In pairs, students will perform a lab confirming the stochiometric relationship between substances and generate a lab report. explainign their findings. An individual follow-up quiz will be given. |

as a Technique of Analysis Chemical
analysis can be performed using volumetric or gravimetric techniques. Students
should be able to demonstrate how the titration technique is a useful tool
in analyzing chemicals.
PERFORMANCE: Lab REport(s) & Group Presentation Working with partners, students will generate lab reports for various titration experiments, and verbally present their results and analyses to entire class for comparison.
