Coll, Richard K.; Taylor, Neil
Research in Science and Technological Education, v19 n2 p171-91 Nov 2001
Examination of senior secondary and tertiary level chemistry students' descriptions of their mental models for chemical bonding revealed prevalent alternative conceptions. Some 20 alternative conceptions were revealed, the most common being belief that continuous ionic or metallic lattices were molecular in nature, and confusion over ionic size and charge. (Author/MM)
