CER Python Paragraph on lonic Bonding Due: Friday, June 4, 2021 at 11:59 pm
Prompt: Why do elements from PTOE Groups 1A & 2A chemcially react to form ionic bonds
with elements from Groups 6A & 7A?
Respond to the above prompt with a CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) paragraph. Make a
claim about one or more ways that ionic bonding occurs. Be sure to include the role of valence
electrons. Then defend that claim with evidence that supports your claim. Include a logical
argument that organizes your evidence step-by-step to convince your readers that your claim
is well-supported and correct. Your conclusion should follow logically from your argument.
You will need a minimum of 1 claim sentence, 2 evidence sentences, and 2 reasoning
sentences to get a passing score. More evidence and reasoning sentences is better.
Remember, a claim is a proposal, a conclusion or a hypothesis. Evidence is something factually
true or based on data. A reasoning sentence connects evidence to the claim by pointing out
how the evidence supports the claim
