LARN 061 C16D1
Start the following in class:
1. Metallic, ionic, and covalent bonding are all strong types of bonding. The required journal focus questions for today, J61, are
a. How is it possible for covalent molecular substances to have much lower melting points than typical ionic compounds? [Hint: In your response, distinguish between the bonding between atoms within molecules (interatomic, intramolecular bonding) and the bonding between molecules that holds the molecules together in a solid crystal lattice or in a liquid (intermolecular bonding).]
b. Do a little research and list five examples of covalent molecular substances that have a much lower melting point than ionically bonded sodium chloride.
2. The study of carbon containing compounds other than those that contain the carbonate ion is called organic chemistry. Go to the web site at http://www.visionlearning.com/reg/login.php, log on into the course+section for which you are registered, and select the module entitled Carbon Chemistry. Read this module as if you were creating an SQ5R or PQ5R study guide for...
