Properties of Ionic Compounds

Test your class with a physical science quiz. Learners explain chemical processes, name compounds, write formulas for chemical compounds, balance equations, and more. 

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...

Don't overreact! A simple experiment demonstrates chemical reactions as scholars mix chemical solutions and metals in a large well plate. They note all changes to the metals, solutions, precipitate, colors, and more. A full data table...

One document contains five different worksheets for practice naming and writing formulas for ionic compounds. The first is particularly notable, as it systematically walks beginning chemists through the process of using the periodic...

In 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.

Is that compound ionic or molecular? How can you tell? Pupils learn about naming chemical compounds and classify them as being molecular or ionic. They learn in detail as they build foundational skills in the short, yet informative,...

Continue leading your class through the ionic journey as they learn additional ways to name ionic compounds. Pupils focus on deriving compound names from their formulas, including fixed charge metal ions, variable charge metal ions,...

This lesson will demonstrate how to write a chemical formula for a binary ionic compound that includes a transition metal. It is 3 of 4 in the series titled "Ionic Compounds: Formulas from Binary Compound Names with Transition Metals."

Build a solid foundation of the different types of chemical bonds. A thorough video lesson discusses the formation of chemical bonds between various element types. The instructor references the periodic table when discussing molecular...

Scholars learn about ionic substances, but how often do they encounter them in their daily lives? The final video in a six-part series explains ionic substances are more common that most people realize. The narrator discusses the...
