Objectives:

1. I know what valence electrons are and how many each element has.

2. I know how covalent bonds are formed.

3. I know how to write Lewis structures, including Lewis structures that contain double or triple bonds.

4. I know how to write Lewis structures for polyatomic ions.

5. I know the how to calculate formal charges and how to use them to determine the quality of Lewis structures.

6. I know the characteristics of single, double, and triple bonds.

7. I know what resonance is and I can present a molecule with resonance correctly.

8. I know how to use VSEPR theory to identify the electron geometry and the molecule shape.

9. I know the three intermolecular forces, their characteristics, and their effects.

10. I can identify the intermolecular forces of a molecule.

11. I know what a heating curve is and I can use it to calculate heating and cooling problems.
