Bond Types & Physical Properties Station Data Lab Sheet

Name ____________________________________________ Period/Block _________ Date _______________________

Objective: Elements are not usually found alone in nature. Rather, a chemical bond may form between two or more elements to make a compound. Compounds can be characterized as ionic, covalent or metallic. In this lab, you will explore the characteristics of 3 major types of bonds: ionic bonds, covalent bonds (molecular covalent & network covalent) and metallic bonds. Procedure: Visit each station and perform the following. 1. Read the directions provided on each station card. 2. Perform the procedure as indicated. 3. Make careful observations for the covalent, metallic and ionic substances. 4. Write a claim as well as the evidence used to support that claim which explains how ionic, covalent and metallic compounds are similar or different.

Evidence: Facts obtained from an experiment that relate to and support the claim

The evidence that supports this claim is____________

Stations #1 & 2: Solubility and Conductivity Background Information Solubility is the ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance. Determine if the provided substances are soluble in water. Conductivity is the ability for a substance to conduct electricity. If compounds produce ions in water (aqueous), then they will conduct electricity. Determine whether a substance conducts electricity by placing the conductivity tester in solution. Lights up BRIGHTLY = STRONG conductor;

Lights up DIMLY = WEAK conductor; DOES NOT light up = DOES NOT conduct electricity

Stations #3 & 4: Crystal Structure & Brittleness/Hardness Background Information Crystal structures form from the interaction of positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions). Observe substances under a magnifying glass & record observations. Certain bonds tend to form brittle structures. A substance is brittle, if it is hard and fractures into many pieces when it does break. To test brittleness, place a micro amount of each sample into the mortar. Gently grind with pestle and observe. If it is brittle, it should make a noise as it fractures into pieces. If it powders easily, record it as being soft. Repeat with each of the samples. CLEAN when finished (place solids into waste bins)

Stations #5 & 6: Melting points Background Information Melting point is the temperature at which a solid becomes liquid. Certain types of compounds tend to have higher melting points than others. The MelTemp is set at a temperature of 200⁰C or less. If the substance melts quickly at this temperature, record the melting point as low. If it does not melt, record the melting point as high. Also use Chart 1 from Station 6 to justify your claim. Observations Claim Substance(s)

Station #7: Component of compounds: Metals or Non-metals Background Information Sometimes the bond type can be determined by looking at the types of elements in a substance. To determine the type of bond in a substance, analyze whether a nonmetal is bonded to a nonmetal (NM-NM) or a metal is bonded to a nonmetal (M-NM) or a metal is bonded to a metal (M-M).

Station #8: Differences in Electronegativity Values Background Information Electronegativity is a measure of how strongly atoms attract bonding electrons to themselves. Compounds may be characterized by analyzing the electronegativity differences between the elements making up the compound. Subtract the two electronegativity values from each other. (Ignore subscripts when you subtract.) For example: CaCl2 - Ca: EN 1.00 Cl: EN 3.16 The difference is 3.16-1.00= 2.16 Which element has the smallest electronegativity value (the least “pulling power”)? ___________________ Which element has the largest electronegativity value (the most “pulling power”)? ___________________

Station #10: Developing a Model: The Bond-Type Triangle Background Information Electronegativity (EN) refers to the “pulling power” that an atom has for electrons. The larger the EN value, the greater the ability of the atom to attract electrons. Calculate the average electronegativity (AvgEN) and the absolute difference in electronegativity (EN) for the bonds in the substances listed. Electronegativity (EN) Substance AvgEN Type of Bonding EN First Atom Second Atom CsF (s) 0.7 4.0 Ionic KBr (s) 0.8 2.8 Ionic NaCl (s) 0.9 3.0 Ionic Cs (s) 0.7 0.7 Metallic Mg (s) 1.2 1.2 Metallic Al (s) 1.5 1.5 Metallic F2 (g) 4.0 4.0 Covalent CO (g) 2.5 3.5 Covalent C (diamond,s) 2.5 2.5 Covalent 1) Based on the data from the chart above what type of bonding resulted from the following combinations? Medium AvgEN and High EN __________________ Low AvgEN and Low EN ______________________ High AvgEN and Low EN ______________________ 2) In the space to the right, plot each of the substances on a graph of AvgEN (x-axis) versus EN (y-axis). Label each point with the type of bonding represented by each substance. 3) Use the points for the substances CsF, F2 and Cs to generate a triangle on the graph. Why were these points chosen to make the triangle? (Refer to questions from Station 8.) _____________________________________________________ Note: The types of bonds involved between atoms are usually not this easily identified. Many compounds have properties that are intermediate between the three bond types.

Station #11: Using a Model: The Bond-Type Triangle Background Information 1) In covalent bonding, sometimes electrons are more attracted to one nucleus than another. This results in a bond where electrons are not equally shared called a polar covalent bond. In what region on the Bond-Type Triangle would you find substances with polar covalent bonding? Explain your reasoning. _________________________________________________________________________________ 2) Some substances, called semimetals or metalloids, have metallic bonds where the electrons are more tightly held. These substances have fewer metallic properties and more covalent properties. In what region on the Bond-Type Triangle would you find metalloids? List one example of a metalloid. _________________________________________________________________________________________ 3) Use the Bond-Type Triangle to determine if the bonding of these substances is ionic, metallic, semi-metallic, covalent or polar covalent.
