2- Three experimental methods that student could use to determine whether the unknown substance is ionic or covalent are as follows: a) Heath stability experiment: as we learned in experiment 2‚ Ionic substances have high heat stability. When we heated them over Bunsen burner they always left residue. However‚ covalent substances have low heat stability and don’t leave residue. b) Ionic compounds are good electrolytes while covalent substances are either not an electrolytes or a very weak one. c)

Reactions in Aqueous Solutions: Metathesis Reactions and Net Ionic Equations Introduction: Metathesis or double decomposition reactions are a reaction in which two compounds react to form two new compounds‚ with no changes in oxidation number. The ions of two compounds exchange partners. AX + BY AY + BX This reaction can occur between two inorganic salts when one product is insoluble in water‚ driving the reaction forward. A typical example is as followed and is considered a molecular equation

Lab Report Ionic and Covalent Bonds Lab: Ionic and Covalent Bonds Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to explore the properties of chemical substances that can be used to identify the types of bonds in a chemical substance using a laboratory procedure. The two types of bonds being identified were ionic and covalent. Based on a substance’s properties‚ how can you determine whether its bonds are ionic or covalent? This is the question I posed before starting the experiment.

How do ionic bonds form? Transferring the electron forms an ionic bond. After transferring the electron‚ the two atoms become ion n will attract together because they have the opposite charges. Then an ionic bond is formed. How do covalent bonds form? A covalent bond is for sharing of electrons. I remember it like co-existing electrons to share (Eg H20). It is usually between two non-metals. Which compound‚ sugar or salt‚ is a better conductor of electricity? Explain your answer. Salt

Writing ionic equations for redox reactions You can split the ionic equation into two parts‚ and look at it from the point of view of the magnesium and of the copper(II) ions separately. This shows clearly that the magnesium has lost two electrons‚ and the copper(II) ions have gained them. These two equations are described as "electron-half-equations" or "half-equations" or "ionic-half-equations" or "half-reactions" - lots of variations all meaning exactly the same thing! Any redox reaction

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

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

Writing Half Reaction and Net Ionic Equation Going back to our first concept or topic‚ we’ve learn how to identify the Oxidizing and Reducing agent and the Oxidation as well as the Reduction. In this part of the Redox reaction or in this step‚ it is very important that you already know the Oxidizing and Reducing agent for us to find the half reaction. In this step or part‚ we will also learn how to balance using the addition of electrons in both sides if necessary. After this step we can now write

Lab Two; Chromatography of Food Dyes Jan Konig 28.04.2013 11:00am Chemistry 121‚ section DE Abstract: The second lab deals with the chromatography of food dyes which means you figure out what kind of compounds are used in a product like food color etc. by comparing the result to FD&C Food Dyes. You use six different food dyes‚ four food colors out of the store‚ two different Kool Aid powder and four different colors of candy like M&Ms you use for the chromatograph. At the end you try

Define and describe ionic and covalent bonds. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. A covalent bond is the chemical bond that involves the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms. A compound is made when two or more atoms form a chemical bond‚ linking them together. The two types of bonds are ionic bonds and covalent bonds. In an ionic bond‚ the atoms are bound together by the attraction between oppositely charged
