QUESTIONS
1. Based on your experiment, what properties, in general, do covalent
compounds and ionic compounds have?

Bases on our experiment, the ones with covalent molecular compounds have low melting points
and boiling point, in short they are quickly to melt when heated. While ionic compounds have
higher melting points and boiling points because they are held together by strong electrostatic
powers of fascination between oppositely charged particles. These mixtures have high liquefying
focuses and high limits on account of the a lot of energy expected to break the numerous solid
bonds.

2. Among the given solid samples, which compound melted most easily? Explain
why.

The candle wax because it’s original state is a liquid state so when heated, it is easier to melt and
it melted quickly because it was going back to it’s liquified state. The heat maintains the
reaction, vaporizing wax so that it can burn, melting it to maintain the supply of fuel.

3. Differentiate the conductivity of ionic compounds from covalent compounds.

Explain your answer.

Although strong ionic mixtures don't direct electricity on the grounds that there are no free
versatile particles or electrons, ionic mixtures broke down in water make an electrically
conductive arrangement. Conversely, covalent mixtures don't display any electrical conductivity,
either in unadulterated structure or when broken down in water.

4. Based on the given formula, classify whether each of the following compounds
is ionic or covalent.

Compounds Classification

A. Potassium iodide KI Ionic

B Butane (C6H14) Covalent

C Ethyl Alcohol (C2H5OH) Covalent

D Sodium Hydroxide Ionic

(NaOH)
