Essential question: How do electron-sharing models explain molecular composition?
Different molecules can contain the same elements yet have different structures and properties.
Build an initial model and explanation for: How do electron-sharing models explain molecular composition?
Record observations, questions, an initial model, and one claim that could be tested. Use these concepts where relevant: covalent bond; Lewis structure; octet model; bond order; resonance model.
Study and explain the week's core ideas: covalent bond; Lewis structure; octet model; bond order; resonance model
Open text on covalent bonding.
Revise Monday's model. Add two evidence-backed annotations and explain one limitation or uncertainty.
Count valence electrons and compare bond multiplicity.
Show units, setup, calculation or graph reasoning, then write what the quantitative evidence can and cannot establish about: How do electron-sharing models explain molecular composition?
Molecular model kit or paper Lewis structures.
Use the course safety charter. If supervision, facilities, materials, or conditions are not appropriate, use the supplied-data/simulation alternative rather than improvising hazardous procedures.
Record variables or design constraints, procedure/model, observations/data, and one revision you would make after reviewing the evidence.
Answer the essential question: How do electron-sharing models explain molecular composition?
Submit a claim, at least two specific pieces of evidence, reasoning that connects them, one limitation/counterclaim, and a correction note for any essential concept below 80%.
Select one artifact from this week and explain why it is trustworthy evidence of growth.
