Abstract

The knowledge of chemical bonding is essential to the understanding of almost every topic in chemistry. However, it is very difficult to learn, and students have a lot of misconceptions regarding this concept. In order to improve students understanding of this concept, it is essential to revise the scientific content, the pedagogical approach and the assessment methods regarding this concept. In this paper, we will review two studies. The first one will refer to aspects that have influenced students misconceptions regarding the topic of chemical structure and bonding, and the other one referring to new methods for teaching the concept of chemical bond, as well as assessment tasks.
