Background Information
Covalent, polar covalent, ionic bonds
It's important for students to be familiar with different bonding types, since polar covalent and covalent bonding is the main focus of this unit, as well as the formations of new bonds.
Intermolecular forces
Since these explain the differences in suitabilities and melting and boiling points of organic compounds, which is one of the focuses of this unit, the knowledge of which intermolecular forces are exhibited by which chemicals is quite important to comparing melting and boiling points.
