Complete Topic 1fg: Ionic & Covalent Bonding Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry 9–1 bundle (7 lessons)

Bundle of 7 fully planned lessons and resources for Topic 1fg Ionic & Covalent Bonding Edexcel IGCSE 9–1 Double/Separate Chemistry.

Include a checklist, key terms, definitions, tech guide, revision PowerPoint, coursebook questions and answers included. Perfect for new and experienced teachers, this resource provides an authentic, ready-to-teach unit requiring no additional preparation. All lessons are contained in one PowerPoint with a consistent, clear structure.

Lessons & Key Content

1. Forming Ions – gaining/losing electrons, drawing ions for key groups, common polyatomic ions, practice questions.

2. Ionic Bonding & Lattices – electron transfer, dot-and-cross diagrams, lattice structure, electrostatic attraction.

3. Formula of Ionic Compounds – deriving formulae from ion charges, naming conventions, polyatomic ions.

4. Properties of Ionic Compounds – melting/boiling points, conductivity (solid/molten/aqueous), solubility, brittleness.

5. Covalent Bonding (Single Bonds) – dot-and-cross diagrams for simple molecules, electron sharing, stability.

6. Covalent Bonding (Double/Triple Bonds) – O₂, CO₂, N₂, hydrocarbons; comparing ionic vs covalent; intermolecular forces.

7. Giant Covalent Structures – diamond, graphite, fullerenes; structure–property links, conductivity differences.

8. Revision Lesson – whole-topic consolidation and additional revision Trearure hunt resources and activity!

Each lesson includes starter slides with title, learning goals and tasks, along with key terms, bolded explanations, and content checked against the specification and examination papers. Core practicals or key demonstrations are included where relevant with step-by-step modelling, notes, diagrams and student tasks, blookets and quizzes. The PowerPoint features click-in animations, embedded video links, model questions and answers, and coursebook tasks to support strong conceptual understanding. Plenaries link back to learning goals. A technician guide and full lesson list appear on Slide 2 for easy planning.

Notes:
Slide 1 is repeated for TES display purposes.
Lesson starter slide background is black but PowerPoint colour schemes vary throughout.
Separate Chemistry content is clearly marked and distinguished from Double Award content.
