6. Task 1 Use the information cards to help you complete your summary table about simple and giant molecular covalent substances. Collect diagrams to show each type of molecular substance and label them as either a simple molecular covalent substance or a giant molecular covalent substances B-C grade give basic answers to complete table A grade give full answers with examples or explanations to complete table End 12 minutes

7. Task 2 Collect a question sheet and answer all 6 questions, using your completed table to help you. Peer assess each other’s answers and give them verbal feedback to help them better understand questions that they were not successful on first time. Higher extension work *(c) Methane is a gas at room temperature. It exists as molecules, CH4. Methane has a low boiling point. It does not conduct electricity. Explain, in terms of the nature of its molecules and the forces between its molecules, why methane has a low boiling point and does not conduct electricity.(6) B-C grade give basic answers to questions. May not do question 6 A grade give full answers with examples or explanations to questions, including question 6 End 12 minutes

8. Task 2 Answers List three compounds that are simple molecular covalent substances Any 3 of: water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, methane, hydrogen Why do most simple molecular covalent substances have low melting and boiling points? There are only weak forces between neighbouring molecules Why don’t simple molecular covalent substances conduct electricity? These molecules have not lost or gained electrons, so there is no charged particles to move around Name the three giant molecular covalent substances Sand (silica) diamond and graphite Compare the melting and boiling points of giant molecular structures to simple molecular covalent substances Giant molecular structures have a higher melting and boiling point than simple molecular covalent substances Explain why the melting points are different. (A/B level question) The melting and boiling point of giant covalent molecular substances are higher because the bonds that hold atoms in these molecules together are strong covalent bonds. In simple molecular structures, there are only weak forces that hold molecules together.
