blocks (s,p,d ,f) and identify synthetic elements based on their position on the periodic table. Suggested Resources: Unit 3: Molecules and Compounds Approximate Timeline: 6 Content Standards Content Objectives Iowa Core Statements Student-Centered Learning Targets Common Assessments Graduate Ends Atoms are the building blocks of molecules and elements are the building blocks of compounds. Bonding (covalent, ionic) Formulas & Nomenclature Structures Polarity Intermolecular forces Understand and apply structure and knowledge of the properties of matter. Understand and applies knowledge of energy and interaction of matter. Skills and Concepts: Bonding 3A. I can explain, based on electronegativity and oxidation states, that atoms combine in whole number ratios to form molecules by sharing electrons (covalent bonding) or ionic compounds by transferring electrons (ionic bonding). 3B. I can recognize the difference between the properties of ionic and covalent compounds. Formulas 3C. I can represent compounds in written form (formulas and nomenclature). Lewis Structures and Geometry 3D. I can represent molecules by drawing dot structures and predict their shape (linear, trigonal planar, bent, tetrahedral, and pyramidal), hybridization and polarity. Intermolecular Forces 3E. I can predict the type(s) of intermolecular forces between molecules (hydrogen, dipole and dispersion).
