Introduction
After exhaustively covering ionic and covalent bonds, we travel now to the blending of the two types of bonds. These are bonds that are formed with the sharing of valence electrons, but in an uneven way. This uneven sharing changes the distribution of charge and results in "leftover" positive and negative poles forming on the compounds. These extremely small charges create tiny bonds between neighboring molecules and cause them to temporarily bond together.

Steps to Completion
1)
Take some time and explore this site: Bonding. It provides a nice succinct overview of the types of bonding- ionic, covalent, and polar covalent. Pay special attention to the parts about uneven sharing and the creation of dipoles.
2)
Go back to the google doc from day 1, here is the link again day 1 google doc. On day 1 you added a link of interest that could extend or enhance your knowledge of ionic bonds- today you will be writing a bit about your chosen link. Using your google account, create a document that provides a 1 paragraph summary of your link. Copy and share the link and add it to the 3rd column in my google doc next to your article.
3)
Pick one of your classmate's links.
Read the information in their link
Read the summary of their link
Post a question into the 4th column based on their summary or link. Add your name to the end of the question.
If their are none available- delete my question and name and make your own.
