Bonding Formal Lab Introduction (with Background information): Any substance, whether it is a metal or nonmetal, people can determine it by seeing if it is shiny, soft, or reactive. Metals are shiny, reactive, and have high melting points, while nonmetals are soft, have low melting points and not very reactive, and that is how anyone can determine whether a substance is a metal or a nonmetal. Covalent bonding is when two atoms share electrons, but it only occurs in two nonmetals only. They have low melting points and they are not soluble. Although, Ionic bonding is when an atom gives away elections to another atom, which only happens in a metal and a nonmetal, and they have high melting points and are soluble. By investigating the unknown…show more content…
Observations: Quantitative & Qualitative Data Table Table 1: Solubility Qualitative data: Substances | Time (s) | Soluble or not? (Yes/No) | X | 42 | Yes | Y | 63 | Yes | Z | >180 | No | Table 2: Appearance of the substances while melting Substance X- White rocky powdery dots Qualitative data: Time (s) | Physical appearance of substance X | 10 | White powder dots | 26 | White powder dots | 44 | White powder dots | 55 | White powder dots | 65 | The color of the white powder dots changes to brown powder dots | 82 | Starts to melt a tiny bit | 107 | It stops melting, and there are still white powder left | 125 | Stays as white powder, no melting | 155 | White powder dots, nothing happens | 178 | White powder dots, no melting | 183 | White powder dots, nothing happens | 207 | A few of the tiny white dots starts to melt again | 230 | The white powder stops finally stay still | Table 3: Appearance of the substances while melting Substance Y- White crystal dots Qualitative data: Time (s) | Physical appearance of substance Y | 3 | White crystal dots | 20 | White crystal dots, no change | 40 | White crystal dots, no physical change
