Complete GCSE Chemistry lesson on Ionic Bonding for AQA, Edexcel & OCR – 48 editable slides + differentiated worksheets with full answers. How can an explosive metal and a poisonous gas join to make the salt on your chips – and what holds them together?
Lesson 1 of the C2 Bonding, Structure & Properties of Matter unit. Suitable for Combined Science (Trilogy) and Triple Chemistry, Foundation and Higher tiers. Just open and teach – every slide, worksheet and answer is done for you.
What’s included
- 48-slide editable PowerPoint – every word at least 28 pt, so it reads clearly from the back of the room (great for SEN, dyslexia and visual impairment)
- Do Now retrieval starter with answers, a hook, I do / we do / you do modelling and clear diagrams
- Mini-whiteboard quiz, a hinge question with explained answers, and click-by-click answer reveals
- Exam-style question with mark scheme and sentence starters, 3-2-1 exit ticket, homework and glossary
- Clickable countdown timers and full teacher notes (spec match, 60-minute lesson plan, common misconceptions)
- 6-page differentiated worksheet pack (Word + PDF) – Bronze, Silver and Gold tasks, a stretch challenge, exam question, exit ticket and full answers and mark schemes
Learning objectives
- Bronze: Describe how metal atoms lose and non-metal atoms gain electrons to form ions. Work out the charge on an ion from its group (1, 2, 6, 7).
- Silver: Draw dot-and-cross diagrams for ionic compounds (e.g. NaCl, MgO). Explain that the ionic bond is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
- Gold: Deduce the formula of an ionic compound from the charges on its ions (including CaCl₂, Na₂O, Al₂O₃). Evaluate what dot-and-cross diagrams do and do not show.
Specification
- AQA GCSE Chemistry 8462 / Combined Science Trilogy 8464 – 4.2.1.1, 4.2.1.2
- Edexcel GCSE Chemistry 1CH0 / Combined Science 1SC0 – matching topic content
