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

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

In this lab‚ theoretical chemical equations of ionic compounds were balanced by the group to determine ratios of reactants and products. The products were determined by the group through switching the cation with their anion partner. Using this information‚ it was determined by the group‚ whether the reaction should result in a solid‚ gas‚ or water based on theoretical solubility. Then several experiments testing the reaction of these ionic compounds were performed by the partners. Two ionic compounds

Covalent Compound: Cocaine Cocaine‚ also known as coke‚ is a covalent compound‚ which are molecules that consist of groups of atoms held together by covalent or coordinate bonds. In the United States cocaine is an illegal drug because of the harm it does to a human’s body. It has been used for many years for many different reasons by many different people. Cocaine and it’s leaves‚ which are found on the plant of the Erythroxylen coca (cocaine.org)‚ originated by the South American Indians who have

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

We will use basic lab equipment provided in our Labpaq‚ and follow all safety precautions in this lab. From reading the discussion and review‚ we understand that the normal configuration of the electrons is called “the ground state”. We understand that they are

In this lab‚ each person in the group will have two pennies. Galvanization of a penny will create a brass penny. Galvanizing the penny in sodium hydroxide with zinc causes the penny to turn from bronze to silver. Once the penny is fully galvanized you will burn the penny and spray it off and then it will turn gold. There will be a weight change also a mass change. Observing the penny to see it turn from bronze to silver to gold. Literature review Covalent bonding is a bond when atoms share pairs

2. I noticed that all of the ionic compounds are soluble in water. This is due to the fact that water molecules are polar. Meaning that they have dipole bonds‚ which have a slightly positive and slightly negative end due to electronegativity differences between atoms. When ionic bonds are placed in water‚ they dissociate into their ions (positive and negative) due to the process of dissociation. These ions are then attracted to different dipoles present in the water molecule‚ in other words the negative
