Covalent and Ionic Bonding Lab Unit Name Exercise # Two of the characteristics that differentiate covalently bonded compounds from ionically bonded compounds are solubility and melting point. In this investigation, you will test these two properties of different compounds in order to predict the type of bonding present in each. Given the following compounds: potassium dichromate K 2 Cr 2 O 7 Para dichlorobenzene C 6 H 4 Cl 2 nickel (II) sulfate NiSO 4 butanol C 4 H 9 O silicon dioxide SiO 2 Test the solubility in water by adding some of the chemical to a test tube containing about two fingers of water and report the solubility qualitatively as soluble, insoluble, or partly soluble. Test the approximate melting point by placing a small amount of each of the solid compounds in a test tube and heating gently with a Bunsen burner. Note: Some of the chemicals may decrepitate (explode) upon strong heating, so increase the temperature gradually. If the compound melts below room temperature record low. If it melts easily under moderate heat, record moderate. If it melts or clumps together only under extreme heat, record high. If it never melts, record very high. In your conclusion, state your assessment of the composition of the compounds with regard to metallic or nonmetallic makeup and whether the bonding is ionic or covalent. Questions: 1. Did you heat the butanol? Why or why not? 2. Why is it difficult to decide the bonding for silicon dioxide? 3. Assume you have never heard of CO 2, but you have a periodic table. Compare CO 2 to SiO 2. What type of bonding do you predict for CO 2? Why? 4. Characterize the usual solubility, melting point and composition for ionically and covalently bonded compounds. 7-6
