Why do elements bond in a reaction?
Element SC3.f - The learner will compare and contrast types of chemical bonds
1. Due - Trends Lab
2. Lab - Exploring Chlorine Compounds - understand how and why compounds react according to trends and bonding
3. HW - Finish Lab
Quiz Tomorrow
Lab Questions:
1. Which of the chlorides seem to have the most similar physical properties and chemical properties? The least similar physical and chemical properties? Use trends information to help answer the question.
2. How do you explain the differences in the chemical and physical properties of these chloride compounds?
3. How do the observations you made in this lab support the idea os chemicals as "Building Blocks?"
4. Show Ionic Bonding for the binary compounds that were formed. Include transfer of e-, ions formed, compound formula and name.
Conclusion: Include ionic bonding information as well as trends when explaining why some compounds are more reactive than others.
