This document provides instructions for a webquest on covalent bonding. It includes the following:
1) An introduction to covalent bonding that describes how atoms share electrons to form stable noble gas configurations, unlike ionic bonding which involves electron transfer.
2) A series of activities involving drawing Lewis structures of molecules to represent covalent bonds, including single, double and triple bonds. It also includes naming covalent compounds based on the number of atoms and type of bonding.
3) A comparison of the properties of ionic and covalent substances by describing the different types of bonding (ionic, covalent, polar covalent, metallic) in terms of electron sharing/transfer between atoms.

The key takeaways are that covalent bonding occurs when atoms share electrons to achieve a stable full outer shell, while ionic bonding involves a complete transfer of electrons between atoms. Covalent bonding commonly occurs between nonmetals, while ionic bonding occurs between a metal and nonmetal.
Ionic bonding involves a complete transfer of electrons between atoms to form ions, while covalent bonding involves sharing of electrons between atoms. Ionic compounds consist of ionic crystals with ionic attractions between ions. Molecular compounds consist of discrete molecules held together by weaker van der Waals forces. Ionic compounds typically have high melting and boiling points while molecular compounds have lower melting and boiling points.
Atoms form covalent bonds by sharing valence electrons to achieve stable full outer shells like the nearest noble gas. For example, hydrogen atoms each contribute one electron to form the H2 molecule, in which each hydrogen atom achieves the electron configuration of helium.
Unit 4 Covalent Bonding Webquest
Activity #1- Introduction to Covalent Bonding
Open Chemical Bonding. Scroll down to the heading Covalent Bonding. 1. As opposed to ____________________ bonding in which a complete transfer of electrons occurs, ____________________ bonding occurs when two or more elements __________________ electrons. Covalent bonding occurs because the atoms in the compound have a similar tendency for electrons (generally to _____________________ electrons). This most commonly occurs when two ____________________ bond together. Because both of the nonmetals will want to ___________________ electrons, the elements involved will share electrons in an effort to _______________ their valence shells. 2. How many valence electrons are in one atom of hydrogen? 3. How many valence electrons does hydrogen need to have a full first shell? 4. How does the hydrogen atom pick up another electron? 5.
