Explain how the chemical bonding of a molecule affects its macroscopic (physical) properties
Students, through the inquiry process, demonstrate knowledge of properties, forms, changes and interactions of physical and chemical systems.
Explain how the particulate level structure and properties of matter affect its macroscopic properties, including the effect of (a) valence electrons on the chemical properties of elements and the resulting periodic trends in these properties, (b) chemical bonding, (c) molecular geometry and intermolecular forces, (d) kinetic molecular theory on phases of matter, and (e) carbon-carbon atom bonding on biomolecules
