The questions come directly from the lessons and cover the following topics: • Atomic Theory and Structure Overview • Lewis Structures • Trends in the Periodic Table • Types of Chemical Bonds • Nomenclature – Ionic Compounds and Multivalents • Nomenclature – Polyatomics and Covalent Compounds • Intermolecular Forces Alternate way to ensure each student gets a new partner each time: Divide students into groups A and B. Have every student pair up with someone from the other group (if there is an odd number of students you participate too!) 1) Do Speed Quizzing 2) Then have group A move to the right and group B stay still. 3) Do Speed Quizzing 4) Then have group B move to the left and group A stay still. Every student in group A will meet every student in group B, but students will not meet students in their own group (a clever way to keep apart students who should not be partnered for whatever reason).
