Ionic Bond Lab

5. The two primary types of chemical bonding is ionic and covalent. Ionic bonding is when atoms give

An ionic bond is a bond that results from the attraction between oppositely charges ions; one atom "gives" another atom an electron. Combinations of metals and nonmetals typically form ionic bonds. A covalent bond is a bond that results from

Use VSEPR theory to predict the shape of a molecule based on its Lewis structure.

Each chemical compounds has a certain percentage of ionic character in its bonds and the remaining percentage as covalent bonds. The only compounds that are accepted as being 100 percent covalent are the chemical combinations that happen between two similar atoms.However if atoms are different in the compound it will present a certain percentage of ionicity in its

A topic of great importance to all scientists is the identification of compounds, which is relevant in all aspects of their work in some way shape or form. Weather it may be determining what is causing sickness or what is polluting the air, it is very prevalent in the science world. In project 2, identification of cations and anions was preformed through a series of confirmation and elimination tests that ultimately led to identifying an unknown ionic compound made of cations and anions.

Ionic compounds have the characteristics of having a crystalline structure, a brittle and hard texture, not being able to burn easily, and high melting and boiling points. They also have the ability to conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in distilled water. Covalent compounds are the complete opposite having opposite characteristics. Covalent compounds have low melting

Ionic compounds, molecules, and metallic substances are some examples of bonded atoms. The electrical charge that holds the atoms together will determine the stability of a compound. Compounds are more stable than free atoms.

1. If two atoms both have either a strong or weak electronegativity then they form a nonpolar covalent bond because they can equally share electrons. On the other hand, if the electronegativity of an atom is both strong and weak then they form a polar covalent bond due to the unequal balance of strength. Making it harder for the two to share electrons.

The data shows that Sucrose, Substance A, and Substance F are molecular compounds and that Sodium Chloride, Substance D, and Substance E are ionic compounds. The type of each compound was determined by the physical properties of the substances and how well they matched up with the properties of ionic and molecular compounds. According to “What properties distinguish ionic compounds form covalent compounds?” by Fred Senese, ionic compounds “conduct electricity when dissolved in water” and the melting points are “usually very

There’re two types of chemical bonds: ionic bond and covalent bond. Those two bonds couldn’t be any different. If you look back in document four you’ll see that the only thing they have in common is that they hold atoms together to

Hypothesis: The best model overall, to use for predicting bond angles in molecules and polyatomic ions is computational: Chem 3D.

In the previous lab, it was found that ionic substances are soluble in water due to the dipole-dipole attraction between the partially negative oxygen and partially positive hydrogen within the water molecule to the ions within the ionic compound. It is also a conductor in water due to the dissociated, free-floating ions that create charges within the solution. Also, they have a melting point above 5000C due to the magnitude of the bonds held between atoms. Lastly, they react with .1M NaOH which is a strong base since ionic compounds are formed by an acid-base reaction. While conducting the various tests to determine the type of bond for the chemical in container 5, it was shown that it meets all of the requirements for it to contain ionic bonding. It was soluble in water, acted as a conductor in water, had a melting point above 5000C, and reacted with .1M NaOH. This reaction between the substance and NaOH was shown when the solution became cloudy which indicated that a solid precipitate was in

An ionic compound is a compound made up of a metal and a nonmetal. This type of compound has a strong bond because the ions donate or accept electrons, creating a strong connection with the oppositely charged ion. An ionic compound should have a high melting point due to the strong bond, no odor, they should be very conductive in water, soluable in water, will have a crystalline structure of alternating positive and negative ions, and finally, it will be hard and brittle.

Organic molecules containing thousands of atoms are known, and the arrangement of atoms in relatively small molecules can be very complicated. One of the major problems in organic chemistry is to find out how the atoms are arranged in molecules, that is, to determine the structures of compounds.
