Comparing Covalent and Ionic Substances

In this oxidation numbers and ionic compounds worksheet, students write the formula for compounds given ions, they write the ions given formulas, they list oxidation numbers for elements, they write formulas for compounds and they name...

Here is a unique assigment: compare and contrast ionic and covalent compounds in an extensive data table and then analyze Lewis dot structures in antoher. Three columns are to befilled in: "characteristic or feature," "applies to ionic...

For this compounds activity, students name ionic and molecular compounds given their formulas. They also write the formulas for molecular and ionic compounds given their names.

Test six various reagents for their ability to conduct electricity. Cooperating chemists research whether each is ionic or covalent and discover the relationship between bonding and conductivity. This laboratory exercise would be an...

Here's a presentation that answers the age-old question of the covalent bond to the ionic bond, "Why won't you share?" Included is information about covalent and ionic bonds, the octet rule, ionic compounds, cations versus anions, and...

Model the steps to an ionic compound lab through a video representation. The video lesson shows the procedure for a lab designed to develop the formula for an ionic compound. The focus is on finding the correct ratio of the two ions.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students will understand the general properties that distinguish ionic compounds from other substances, and predict which elements are likely to form ionic compounds...

A complete lesson on compounds, from introductory material in the beginning to a practice exam at the end. This lesson covers bonding, ionic compounds, molecular compounds, naming compounds, structural formulas, polyatomic ions, and much...

Visit this site to find out what covalent compounds are, how covalent bonding is different from ionic bonding, how the properties of covalent compounds differ from ionic compounds, and how to name covalent compounds. There is also a link...

This lesson will provide naming rules for ionic compounds containing polyatomic ions and give examples. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Ionic Compounds: Naming Compounds with Polyatomic Ions in Formula."
