After going through this module, you are
expected to:
- identify and describe ionic and covalent
compounds based on their chemical formula
and chemical names;
 enumerate and discuss different physical

properties of ionic and covalent;

 - distinguish ionic from covalent compound

based on their physical properties; and

 - cite a natural phenomenon that uses

different physical properties of ionic and

covalent compound (ex. Snowflakes, voltaic
cells)

What it it
Let’s Bond with Ionic and Covalent Compounds
Compounds play a big part in our everyday
life, like for example, you can find compounds
present in food, air, cleaning chemicals, and
literally in every object that you can see or
touch. Compounds are made up of elements
that are chemically bonded by electrostatic
forces. Compounds can be classified as ionic or
covalent. An ionic compound is formed when
metal (cation) transfers its valence electron/s
to a nonmetal (anion). The covalent compound
is formed when nonmetals share their valence
electrons with another nonmetal.
The figure below shows an illustration on how each element transfer
or share their valence electrons to attain stability.
Identifying and Describing Compounds through its
Chemical Formula and Chemical Name
 chemical formula is a symbolic expression
signifying the number of atoms present in a
molecular substance. We determine the type of
atom by referring to its chemical symbol.
 The number of atoms is determined by the
subscript attached to the symbol.
 chemical name shows the name of each element
involved in a compound. For example, carbon
dioxide, the chemical formula is written as C 𝑂2.
This means that this is an example of a covalent
compound, since the elements involved are
nonmetals, namely, one carbon atom and two
oxygen atoms
 sodium chloride, which chemical formula
is written as NaCl is an example of an ionic
compound. Since the elements involved in a
compound are sodium (Na) a metal and
chlorine (Cl) a nonmetal.

Answers to the guide questions:
Q20:
a. Polar covalent and ionic compounds
b. Ionic compounds
c. Covalent compounds have low melting temperature
Q21. Ionic compounds, like salt and vetsin, give off positive
cations) and negative (anions) ions in solution that is why they can
conduct electricity. Salt and vetsin release sodium cation Na+. Salt
also releases chloride anion (Cl-) in aqueos solution while vetsin
releases glutamate anion.
Q22. Ionic compounds are water soluble , they have a high melting
point, and can conduct electricity in solution. Covalent compounds
have a low melting point. Non polar covalent compounds are
insoluble in water, and poor conductors of heat and electricity.
