By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
Describe the formation of ions by electron loss or electron gain
Learning
Outcomes
(by the end of the lesson Describe ionic bonds as electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged
the students will be able ions
to….)
Describe the formation of ionic bonds between between elements from group I and
VII
Definition of ionic bonding and how it involves the transfer of electrons between
atoms.
Formation of Ionic Compounds:
Lesson Content
(What will be taught or Example: Sodium chloride (NaCl): Sodium (Na) loses an electron to become
learned?)
Na⁺, and chlorine (Cl) gains an electron to become Cl⁻.
Explanation of how oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other to form
a stable compound.
Textbook
Resources
Smartscreen
Needed / Books Short video
Start with a question: "What do you think happens when an atom loses or gains an
electron?"
ACTIVITIES Video/Animation: Show a brief animation of sodium (Na) reacting with chlorine
(Teaching and (Cl) to form NaCl, highlighting the electron transfer and formation of ions.
Learning) Discussion: Ask students why they think sodium (a metal) gives away electrons and
chlorine (a nonmetal) accepts electrons.
ENGAGEMENT Demonstrate how Na gives up an electron to form Na⁺ and how Cl gains an electron to
EXPLORATION
EXPLANATION form Cl⁻.
ELABORATION What is Ionic Bonding? Explain how ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred
between atoms, resulting in the attraction between oppositely charged ions.
Identify which elements will form ionic bonds.
Draw electron dot diagrams for these ionic compounds.
Assessment Ensure that students are drawing correct electron dot diagrams and grasping the
(Collection of Data) and concept of electron transfer in ionic bonding.
Evaluation At the end of the lesson, ask students to write:

1. What happens when sodium and chlorine form NaCl?
2. What are two properties of ionic compounds?
Teacher’s Reflection
on the lesson: Were students able to explain ionic bonding and draw correct electron dot
Evidence of diagrams for different ionic compounds?
student learning
Did they understand the properties of ionic compounds and connect them to the ionic
related to lesson
expectations
bond structure?
Effectiveness of Were the discussions and explanations clear and accessible for students? Did students
teaching related demonstrate an understanding of how ionic bonds form and why ionic compounds have
to student specific properties?
