Think about the types of bonds that we have discussed. We have disused the method used to determine the ratio of one element to another in an ionic bonded compound. We have not discussed how we determine covalent or metallic bonds. You are to discuss how we determine ionic bonds and then determine how we discover the bond and formation of the molecule. Make sure you use specific examples including experiments
Ionic bonds are determined by a metal and a nonmetal. The metal element loses the electrons and nonmetals gain the electrons. Ionic bonds have a high boiling point and a high melting point and they are brittle. An example of an ionic bond is Sodium Chloride which is salt. The discover of the ionic bond was Svante Arrhenius. The formation of the molecules in an ionic bond are the metals losing electrons and nonmetals gaining electrons.
Experiment:
1. You need to get a temperature probe.
2. Set up ring stand and bunsen burner.
3. Put water in a beaker.
4. Put NaCl (salt) in a test tube.
5. Put the test tube in the beaker.
6. Put the beaker on the ring clamp over the bunsen burner.
7. Find the melting point of the ionic compound.
