SOL Prep

Electron Arrangement, Bonding, and Properties of Materials

Virginia SOL CHII.3

Investigate and understand that the electron arrangement in atoms and ions contributes to bonding, structure, and properties of materials.

What students need to be able to do

  • Predict the type of bonding that occurs between elements.
  • Make, support, and evaluate a claim about how Coulomb’s law explains the arrangement of ions in an ionic substance.
  • Develop and use models of molecules (Lewis diagrams, VSEPR model, hybrid orbitals) to predict molecular geometry including expanded octets.
  • Plan and conduct an investigation to identify an unknown substance using properties.
  • Make, support, and evaluate a claim about how metallic bonding explains the properties of metallic substances.
  • Make, support, and evaluate a claim about how the atomic and molecular structure of materials determines their function and properties.
