Covalent Compound: Cocaine Cocaine‚ also known as coke‚ is a covalent compound‚ which are molecules that consist of groups of atoms held together by covalent or coordinate bonds. In the United States cocaine is an illegal drug because of the harm it does to a human’s body. It has been used for many years for many different reasons by many different people. Cocaine and it’s leaves‚ which are found on the plant of the Erythroxylen coca (cocaine.org)‚ originated by the South American Indians who have

Professor Tolentino Maria Oyervide EXPERIMENT #4 IONIC AND COVALENT COMPOUNDS Abstract: This experiment was divided in four steps to find the electrical conductivity of covalent and ionic solutions. There were four unknown solutes A‚ B and C. Each had a specific weight and was dissolved in a certain amount of solute to form either the covalent or ionic solution. Covalent compounds are made up of molecules which are electrically neutral. Ionic compounds are composed of ions‚ which are positively or

Differences Between Ionic and Covalent Compounds Abstract In chemistry‚ a compound is a substance formed from two or more elements‚ with a fixed ratio determining the composition. A defining characteristic of a compound is that it has a chemical formula. Formulas describe the ratio of numbers of atoms in a substance. Compounds may have a number of possible phases. For a compound to be a liquid or a gas and still be called a compound‚ atoms from the various elements must be stuck together in

stable electron configuration by sharing their electrons and forming a Covalent bond. A covalent bond is a chemical bond in which two atoms share a pair of valence electrons. When two atoms shair one pair of electrons‚ the bond is called a singe bond. Molecules of Elements Two hydrogen atoms bonded together form a unit called a molecule. A molecule is a neutral group of atoms that are joined together by one or more covalent bonds. The hydrogen molecule is neutral because it contains two protons

When a metallic substance shares electrons with a non-metal substance it forms covalent bonds‚ which make molecules. The metal becomes positively charged atoms‚ which means that the number of electrons is never less than the number of protons. Non-metals become negatively charged atoms‚ and now the number of electrons is more than the number of protons. When atoms share electrons of nonmetals then a covalent bond is formed inside the molecule. Monatomic elements are elements that only contain one

question. 1. Which type of compound usually has higher melting points‚ ionic compounds or covalent compounds? What is the reason for this difference in melting points? (3 points) Ionic compounds usually have higher melting points. This is because the atoms of covalent compounds are bound strongly to each other in stable molecules‚ but those molecules are in general not very strongly attracted to other molecules in the compound. On the other hand‚ the atoms in ionic compounds show strong attractions

Lab Report Ionic and Covalent Bonds Lab: Ionic and Covalent Bonds Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to explore the properties of chemical substances that can be used to identify the types of bonds in a chemical substance using a laboratory procedure. The two types of bonds being identified were ionic and covalent. Based on a substance’s properties‚ how can you determine whether its bonds are ionic or covalent? This is the question I posed before starting the experiment.

IONIC COMPOUNDS In chemistry‚ an ionic compound is a chemical compound in which ions are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds. Usually‚ the positively charged portion consists of metal cations and the negatively charged portion is an anion or polyatomic ion. Ions in ionic compounds are held together by the electrostatic forcesbetween oppositely charged bodies. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points‚ and they are hard and very brittle. Ions can be single atoms‚ as the sodium and chlorine in
