A Bonding Webquest: 40 points
Introduction: Bonding is a relationship between atoms in chemical compounds. Your goal in this webquest is to adequately describe an IONIC, METALLIC, NONPOLAR COVALENT and POLAR COVALENT BONDS. You will describe each in the terms of an analogous relationship from Great Literature, while also providing illustrations of each bonding type.
The Task: You must open up a word document. Title it as your last name and first name (for example: Gibney John) and save it to the G:Drive “06 Gibney Chemistry.” Your project will be four pages long. One page on Ionic, one on Metallic, one on Non-Polar Covalent, and one on Polar Covalent. Each page should have the following:
Title for the Page
A Picture of the Bond
Description of the bond: including at least the following - the type of atoms involved, necessary values of electronegativity, relative strength, and examples.
Literature Analogy: tTink back to all those great literature courses you have had over the years. Using characters from those, describe the bonding type in terms of the characters of a play, novel, or short story.

Covalent Bonding
How does electron sharing bond atoms? What are valence electrons? What is polarity? Are there similarities between covalent and ionic bonds? This site answers these questions and many more.
