The Element of the Item
The Teacher would be showing five items of different kinds and types,
and the students will be guessing the elements that are present within
the shown items:
1. Salt - Sodium(Na), Chlorine (Cl)
2. Sugar - Carbon(C),Hydrogen(H), Oxygen(O)
3. Powdered Rust - Iron(Fe), Oxygen(O)
4. Toothpaste - Sodium(Na), Fluorine(F)
5. Water - Hydrogen(H), Oxygen(O)
C. Presentation
Ionic compound is a chemical compound composed of ions held together by
electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding. Ionic Bonding is a form of chemical
connection in which one atom loses a valence electron (electron found in the outermost
shell of an atom) and gains them from another atom. The compound is neutral overall,
but consists of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called
anions. Ionic compounds are generally formed by a metal and a nonmetal.
Covalent compound is made when two or more nonmetal atoms bond by sharing
valence electrons. The shared valence electrons between two nonmetal atoms is called
a covalent bond. Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms begin sharing electrons.
The electrons are attracted to the positively charged nuclei of the atoms. The difference
between Ionic Bonding and Covalent bonding is that, Ionic bonds form when two or
more ions come together while covalent bonds involves the sharing of electrons
between two or more atoms.

D. Generalization
In general, Ionic compounds are compounds consisting of oppositely charged ions,
while Covalent compounds are compounds formed by the sharing of an electron
between two or more atoms. Ionic compounds are typically formed by a combination of
a metal and a nonmetal, while covalent compounds are mostly formed by a combination
of metalloid and nonmetal or the combination of two nonmetals.
