TYPES OF COMPOUNDS (Ionic and Covalent) BASED ON THEIR
PROPERTIES
(Melting Point, Hardness, Polarity, and Electrical and Thermal Conductivity)

Learning Competencies (Essential Competencies)

• Recognize different types of compounds (ionic or covalent) based on their
properties such as melting point, hardness, polarity, and electrical/thermal
conductivity; (S9MT-IIb-14)

Introduction:
A compound is a substance made up of a definite proportion of two or more
different elements bonded together. The water that we drink, the food that we eat
and even the products that we use at home are all examples of compound. There
are different types of compound, but this module will focus only on the physical
properties of ionic compound and covalent compound.

Let’s Recall (Review)

Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if the statement is wrong.
Write your answer in your answer sheet.

1. A substance that is made up of different elements bonded together is known

as compound.
2. Ionic compound and covalent compound are types of compound.
3. Sugar is an ionic compound.

WEEK 2 DAY 1: Ionic and Covalent Compounds based on their Chemical

Formula and Chemical Names

Objectives

At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to:

1. Identify and describe ionic and covalent compounds based on
their chemical formula and chemical names.
 Let’s Understand (Study the Concept)

Ionic compounds are made up of metal element and a non-metal element.

The metal element is written first followed by a non-metal element ending in “ide”.
Ex. 1 Chemical Name Chemical Formula
Sodium Chloride NaCl
IONIC COMPOUND Calcium Fluoride CaF2
On the other hand, covalent compounds are made up of two or more non
metal elements. Covalent compound usually uses prefixes (1-mono, 2-di, 3-tri etc.,)
in their chemical name which indicates the number of bonded elements.
Ex. Chemical Name Chemical Formula
carbon dioxide CO2
COVALENT COMPOUND dinitrogen pentoxide N2O

B. Hardness
➢ The quality or state of being hard
C. Polarity
➢ The condition of having positive and negative charges and especially
magnetic or electrical poles
D. Electrical conductivity
➢ Describes the electrical current that will occur due to a given potential
difference.
E. Thermal conductivity
➢ Thermal conductivity is the ability of a material to conduct thermal energy.

Anode Cathode
(Zn metal strip) (Cu metal strip)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7b34XYgADlM

Voltaic cell also known as galvanic cell is a device that use chemical
reaction to create electricity (specifically an oxidation reduction reaction).

The two electrodes, objects that conduct electricity, are identified as the
anode and cathode. The anode and the cathode are dipped in a solution of an
electrolyte in separate containers. The electrolytes use for zinc anode and copper
cathode, are ZnSO4 and CuSO4, respectively. A wire is used to allow electrons
produced from the anode to flow to the cathode. The bulb inserted in the wire will
be lighted when electrons passes through it. A salt bridge is an inverted U-tube
containing nonreactive ions needed to neutralize the net charges of the solutions in
the anode half-cell and the cathode half-cell. Remember that Ionic compound like
ZnSO4 and CuSO4 will only conduct electricity (a physical property of ionic
compound) when dissolve in water.
