Renteria Guadalupe 11-5-12 Period.2 Ionic vs.

covalent bonding lab investigation

Introduction: Atoms are always combined they are never alone, or found without pairs. The atoms are combined by ionic bonds or covalent bonds that allows the atoms to either become weak or strong with their combinations. This combination happens when the covalent bonds share their valence electrons and make an ionic transfer, which means that all of the valence electrons become really attracted because of the valence electrons electrostatic attraction.

Hypotheses: Compounds to be tested Chemical formula Hypothesis 1: Hypothesis 2: Ionic or high or covalent Low melting point? Hypothesis 3: Conduct electricity?

Distilled pure water Sodium chloride Sucrose Dextrose Sodium sulfate

Procedures:

Renteria Guadalupe 11-5-12 Period.2 Part 1: melting point and strength of bonds 1-fold aluminum foil into a square and neatly fit in ring-stand. 2-place the tray on the ring strands and burns it up from 1-2 minutes. 3-begin recording details, observations, keep track of samples melt. Part 2: .. 1 2 3 4 5

Conclusion: After this laboratory, this was concluded that Results: part 1: melting point 1name/chemical formula Distilled water sodium chloride Sucrose Dextrose Sodium Sulfate 5 high melting point low high low low low n/a no no no no yes no no yes covalent ionic covalent covalent ionic final conclusion
