Results- You should consider the following key points when writing your results.
- Summarize your problem statement. How did you determine if a compound was ionic or molecular?
- Trends-what characteristics do ionic compounds have in common? What do molecular compounds have in common?
- For each compound, classify each compound as ionic or molecular and summarize the appearance of each as a solid.
Conclusion- Consider the following points when writing your conclusion.
- Was your assessment of each compound correct? Ms. Milton will give you the correct identities for comparison.
- What kind of error did you encounter? (Think about Sample #4 and acids). In other words, what didn't fit the pattern we established for ionic and covalent compounds?
- What makes ionic compounds conduct a current?
- Why are most molecular compounds non-electrolytes?
