C. Answers
 MgCl
2
 MnO
2
 CaBr
2
Why?
Ionic compounds are brittle (like salt) and conduct when dissolved in water
Metals are shiny and bendable
Network covalent (diamond) are very hard and not brittle
Other covalents are usually gases or liquids at room temperature

D. Which is malleable (bend easily) and conduct electricity?

 Cu
Metals bend easily
Metals always conduct because they have a
“sea of electrons” around them
(Each metal atom is trying to give up it’s electrons to the others so the electrons flow from one to the next.)

Why? “like dissolves like”
(polar dissolves polar)
Polar covalent AND ionic compounds dissolve in polar solvents like water
 CaBr
2 (Ionic can be thought of as extremely polar)

 The ability to dissolve.
 Dissolving always involves the mixing of two different substances.
When a substance dissolves it breaks up and spreads out into the other substance.

Metals and network covalent (diamond) do not dissolve in anything

 The ability to conduct electricity.
 Electricity is moving electrons – the valence electrons are transferred from one atom to the next, to the next, and so on.

Metals always conduct electricity because of the atoms are surrounded by a
“sea of electrons”
Each metal atom is trying to give away it’s valence electrons but no atom wants them.
They pass them down the line!

Why? Electricity is moving electrons
Metals conduct (sea of electrons)
Ionic compounds conduct when liquid
(dissolved or melted) – the metal is trying to give away it’s electrons so they move
Covalent never conduct (they share electrons and shared electrons don’t move)

 The temperature when something goes from a solid to a liquid.
 Substances with higher melting points can support more heat before turning to liquids.
 Turning from solid to liquid means the atoms have broken free from their position and can flow.

I. Number these “1, 2, 3, 4, or 5”
1 = highest melting point
5 = lowest melting point

 C – Diamond
Each atom is bonded to every other atom with covalent bonds. This makes it SUPER strong – strong means it will have a SUPER HIGH melting point.

 MgCl
2 and MnO
2 and CaBr

Ionic bonds are strong because they form crystals of opposite charges.
Strong bonds means high melting point

rd
 Cu
Why?
Metals are solid at room temp so they must be heated to melt.

Why? Polar molecules have a positive and negative end so they are “sticky” and hold on to each other to stay solid a little longer

Why? Non-polar covalent molecules have no charge and so they cannot “hold hands” to stay together.
