Ionic compounds are formed when a metal and a non-metal join together. When sodium metal is dropped into a gas jar of chlorine gas the elements react violently to form a new compound called sodium chloride joined by ionic bonds. To understand how this process works‚ we must grasp an understanding of what an ion is and what an ionic bond is. An ion is an atom that has an electric charge and is created when an atom (or a group) gain or loses electrons. (It has an electric charge due to the imbalance

Abstract: When ionic compounds are dissolved in water‚ they break apart into ions. In this lab the opportunity to mix two ionic solutions and observe the results was given. Some ions will remain dissolved and uncombined in the solution even when they are mixed with other ions. When other ions are mixed‚ they form compounds that appear as cloudy or grainy precipitates. The objective of this lab was to observe the formation of compounds and to write the names and formulas of ionic compounds. It is also

Nomenclature for Ionic Compounds Ionic compounds consist of cations (positive ions) and anions (negative ions). The nomenclature‚ or naming‚ of ionic compounds is based on the names of the component ions. Here are the principal naming conventions for ionic compounds‚ along with examples to show how they are used: Roman NumeralsA Roman numeral in parentheses‚ followed by the name of the element‚ is used for elements that can form more than one positive ion. This is usually seen with metals. You

properties of an unknown ionic compound. In order to do this successfully the group has to use a variety of methods and run several tests on the unknown compound. By doing this the group will be able to identify the different chemical and physical properties of the compound that will help obtain the identity of the specific compound given. The group will devise two syntheses of the compound‚ and compare them for cost effectiveness‚ safety and potential yield of the compound. So to be more specific

Identifying Ionic Compounds Written by Ashleigh Lara. In our experiment we were given 5 different cations who’s mixture of anions ranged from five to three different solutions. At every single station we were given the following materials a spot plate‚ a dropper‚ and the chemicals used to mix with our main substance. Each substance received 3 drops of the different chemicals which were able to give us an observation of what the compound was made into. Many of our experiments color‚ texture and solubility

The Physical Properties of Eleven Chemical Compounds Problem: Discover whether various chemical compounds are molecular or ionic and if they are acidic or basic. Hypothesis: If the compound is ionic‚ then it will be soluble because the energy given off water molecules compensates for the energy needed to break ionic bonds‚ also‚ if the compound is Ionic‚ it will be an electrolyte‚ because they mostly break up into ions when in water. If the compound is molecular‚ then it will be soluble‚ it cannot

Differences Between Ionic and Covalent Compounds Abstract In chemistry‚ a compound is a substance formed from two or more elements‚ with a fixed ratio determining the composition. A defining characteristic of a compound is that it has a chemical formula. Formulas describe the ratio of numbers of atoms in a substance. Compounds may have a number of possible phases. For a compound to be a liquid or a gas and still be called a compound‚ atoms from the various elements must be stuck together in

thousands of compounds which have been discovered‚ and are yet to be discovered‚ with all these possible combinations it is necessary to provide order through a systematic naming system. This naming system‚ aside from organization also provides the reader with information about the given element. There are different kinds of compounds‚ ionic‚ covalent‚ and acidic and over all of this the atoms making up the compounds are either binary or polyatomic. The simplest compounds to name are binary ionic compounds

How do ionic compounds form? How do electrons change the shape of a molecule? These are just a couple of the questions that this paper will answer. How do ionic compounds form? Ionic compounds are formed by positive and negative ions. An ionic bond means that there are valence electrons being shared between the two molecules. This can cause the molecule to become negative or positively charged. An ionic compound is formed by the complete transfer of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal and the
