Revision Sheet - Criteria B and C

Criteria B: Inquiring and designing

You have learnt about the properties of ionic and covalent compounds that ionic compounds can conduct electricity
in molten or aqueous solution, but covalent compounds do not conduct electricity in any of these states. You wanted
to study the properties of some of the compounds which were available in chemistry lab but you were not sure of
the nature of the compound whether they are ionic or covalent compounds. Hence you decided to conduct the
experiment in the chemistry laboratory of your school with the permission of your teacher.

Assuming that you have conducted the experiment using Magnesium oxide, potassium bromide, sodium chloride,
glucose, and ethanol, design an experiment to show which substances are ionic and which substance is covalent.
Following set up can be used to check conductivity of substances.

a) Explain a question to be tested in your scientific investigation. (B i)

How does the type of compound impact he electrical conductivity in an aqueous/molten solution?

b) Formulate and explain a testable hypothesis using correct scientific reasoning. (B ii)

If a compound is ionic then it will conduct electricity in its molten/aqueous state because ionic compounds
dissociate into free moving ions allowing the flow of current. Whilst if a compound is covalent then it will
not conduct electricity because covalent compounds do not form free moving ions.

c) List the variables and outline how will you manipulate them. (B iii)

IV : Type of compound (Magnesium oxide, potassium bromide, sodium chloride, glucose, and ethanol)
DV: Type of bond – Understood through electric conductivity
CV –
Volume of substance used
Voltage of power supply
Volume of distilled water
Temperature
Duration of electrical conductivity measurement

d) List the apparatus/ equipment required. (B iv)

e) Design a logical, complete and safe method. Explain how sufficient, relevant data will be collected.

Criterion C: Processing and evaluating

A student measured melting points of the elements of first group of the periodic table. She
measured their melting points using capillary method. The details of the method are given in the
video here.
