I. Learning Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students must be able to:
a. Identify the difference between ionic and covalent bond,
b. Perform laboratory activity to differentiate between ionic and covalent
compounds and,
c. recognize the different ionic and covalent compound we use in our
lives.
B. Review
The class will be divided into 5 groups and they will have a quiz bee.
1. What is Covelent Bond?
2. What is ionic bonding?
C. Motivation
1. In the same group they will list down the 5 different example of
ionic and covalent
D. Presentation
Conduct an unlocking of difficulties and pre-activity.
1. Ionic Bond – the complete transfer of electrons to a metal atom to
a non-metal.
2. Covalent Bond – the sharing of electrons between non-metal
atoms.
E. Activity
Differences between ionic and covalent compounds (Laboratory
Activity)
Materials:
Materials:
improvised electrical conductivity apparatus
distilled water
alcohol burner
metal spoon
sugar (sucrose)
grated paraffin wax (candle wax)
salt (sodium chloride)
vetsin (monosodium glutamate)
vials or very small bottles
medicine dropper
1. Get a pinch of salt, place it in a spoon, and heat it with the use of an alcohol
burner in 1 minute. Do the same with vetsin, sugar, and grated candle wax.
Record what you observed in column 1 of the table.
2. Place a pinch of salt, vetsin, sugar, and grated candle wax on a clean dry
sheet of paper. Label each sample. Let the electrodes of the electrical
conductivity apparatus touch each of the solid sample. Be sure you clean the
electrodes before transferring to the sample. Record your observations in
column 2a of the table.
3. Transfer each sample to individual vials. Add approximately 3 mL of distilled
water in each vial and label. Observe the solubility of each sample in distilled
water. Record your observation in column 3 of the table. Test the conductivity
of the compound with distilled water. Record your observation in colimn 2b of
the table. Fill out the table below.
F. Analysis
1. What type of compound:
a. dissolves easily in water?
b. conducts electricity in solution?
c. melts easily?
2. What common properties did you observe in this activity?
G. Abstraction
1. Ionic compounds conduct electricity and they are generally soluble
in water.
2. Covalent compounds are non-conductors of electricity in solid phase
and in solution. Unlike ionic compounds, they melt easily so they
have a low melting temperature.
H. Application
What is the importance of this activity in our lives?
V. Agreement
Research and study about carbon compounds.
