HOME-BASED LAB 2
Properties of Ionic and Covalent Compounds

MATERIALS: Salt, Sugar, Cooking Oil, Butter, Metal Spoon, 3 Plastic/Paper Cups (Drinking Glass will do), candle and matches.

PROCEDURES:
1. SET-UP A: Solubility in Water: Place 1 teaspoon of the samples (salt, sugar, and cooking oil) on separate cups or glasses filled with water, stir for 1 minute
and observe
2. SET-UP B: Heat Reactivity Scoop a little amount of the samples (salt, sugar, and butter) in a metal spoon. Heat the sample using a lighted candle and observe.
(You may use your stove in heating but be careful when handling the metal spoon under high heat flame)

DATA: Write your Observations on the table below

COMPOUND Solubility Heat Reactivity
Table Sugar soluble Does not melt

 What common properties can you observe between the given compounds?

CONCLUSION: How will you describe ionic and covalent compounds based on their properties?

o Ionic compounds are formed from strong electrostatic interactions between ions, which result in higher melting points and electrical
conductivity compared to covalent compounds.

o Covalent compounds have bonds where electrons are shared between atoms. Due to the sharing of electrons, they exhibit characteristic physical
properties that include lower melting points and electrical conductivity compared to ionic compounds.
