Important Concepts Covered in This Module

In this module we learned about valence electrons and how important they are in determining bonds between elements. We learned new terms, such as ionic and covalent bonds. We also took a look at how to balance chemical equations and how energy is exchanged during those reactions.

Highlights of the Next Module

We will change gears in Module 11. We leave Chemistry for the study of Rocks and Minerals. We head in the direction of Earth Science by taking a look at the what a rock is and what minerals are. We’ll take a closer look at the properties of minerals.Then, we will go into what the three basic types of rocks there are and how they are formed over time.
