Content Standard 1:
Structure and Properties of Matter

Objectives:

2. Atoms interact with one another by transferring or sharing outer electrons that are farthest from the nucleus. These outer electrons govern the chemical properties of the element.

• Atoms can react to produce new substances.
• The formation of molecules results when atoms give, take, or share electrons.

Time Range:
2nd Quarter; 4 weeks

Suggested Teaching Strategies:

• Bonding Units: Ionic Compounds and Covalent Compounds
