properties of ionic and covalent compound.

D. Activity

Before we proceed into lesson proper, let’s have an

activity first, wherein you will be divided into two
groups. The task is to read the story and answer the
questions that are being asked.

Activity: Salt Love Story

Directions: Read and understand the story and answer

the questions below.

Once upon a time a lonely Sodium (Sodium has

only 1 valence electron) atom was taking a stroll in
a park. Suddenly it crossed paths with the most
attractive Chlorine (Chlorine has 7 valence
electrons) atom it had ever seen. The attraction
between the two atoms was obvious, so they
exchange phone numbers. After several dates for
coffee, walks on the beach, and watch movie. It was
apparent that the atoms had fall in love. Since
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons and Sodium giving
its 1 electron to Chlorine who just needs 1 more
electron to have a full outer shell. “You complete
me!!!” Chorine atom said. Since one atom is
positive and one atom is negative, the opposite
charges cause them to come together in an ionic
compound.
And they became a famous power couple known
as Sodium Chloride also known as Table Salt.
- THE END -
Guide Questions:
1. Who are the characters in the story?
2. How many valence electrons does sodium
and chlorine have?
3. What do you think is the type of bond that
occurs among them?

As a student, what do you think is the importance of

ionic and covalent compound in our daily life?

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

The activity that you have done awhile ago, is

related to our topic for today which is about
properties of ionic and covalent compound.

So, these are our objectives for today’s

lesson. Please read altogether.

At the end of the lesson, the Grade
9 students will be able to:
1. Define ionic compound and
covalent compound
2. Differentiate ionic compound
and covalent compound
3. Appreciate the importance of
the uses of the compound

Before we delve in our topic for today, let me ask you a

question class. In your respective homes, have you
encountered a time wherein you place the salt and sugar
side by side without any labels?

How will you differentiate the one from the other?

As you can see class, many of these compounds look
physically the same like white sugar and salt. It would
be easier to determine these compounds by tasting
them. However, it is not applicable to many compound
because some of these compounds are toxic and
dangerous.

Compounds are formed between the chemical

combinations of two or more elements.

Now, who can define what an element is?

Very Good!

Who can give me an example of element?

Very Good!

There are two common types of compounds based on

their chemical bonding characteristics namely; ionic
compound and covalent compound.

How will distinguish an ionic compound and a covalent

compound?

Very well-said!

To distinguish ionic compound and ionic compound by

taking note of the type of elements that is chemically
combined.

Ionic compound is formed from the combination of a

metal and a non-metal element. On the other hand, a
covalent bond is formed from the combination of two
non-metal elements or a metalloid and a non-metal
element.

So how will you determine if an element is a metal,

metalloid, or non- metal in the periodic table of
elements?

Good job!

To determine if an element is metal, non-metal, or a

metalloid, you can refer to the location of the elements
in the periodic table of elements.
Now let’s take a look at this example of periodic table
of elements.

As you can see it has legend in determining whether an

element is a metal, non-metal, and metalloids wherein
elements that are metal is colored red, non-metals are
colored in blue and lastly we have metalloids which is
yellow in color.

As you notice in the periodic table of elements, most of

the metals are located in the left side except the
hydrogen element and on the right side is the non-
metals, separated by a stair-like pattern of elements
which are the metalloids.

Now, let’s start with ionic bond which is formed with

the combination of metal and non-metal.

Ionic bond are the electrostatic force of attraction that

holds cations, which are positively charged atoms, and
anions, which are negatively charged atoms, together.

One example of ionic bond is table salt, wherein its

chemical formula is NaCl.

So as you notice in the table, sodium is an example of

metal and Chlorine is a non-metal. In forming the ionic
compound there is a transfer of electron wherein mostly
the metal elements loses the electron and becomes the
cation, and the non-metal elements gains electrons, thus
becoming anion.

Based on our example, which is the table salt, what do

you think is the metal element that is involved in it?
Is it a cation or anion?

Very Good!

Why do you think it is a cation?

Good job!

How about the element that is non-metal in sodium

chloride?

Very well-said!

Why do you think it is called anion?

Very Good!

Take note class, ionic compound can be identified

through classifying, if the combination of both
elements involves a metal and non-metal and there is a
transfer of electrons that is involved.

Let’s proceed to the common ionic compounds and

their uses.

First, example is sodium bicarbonate or what we

normally known as baking soda.

What do you think are the uses of baking soda?

Who has an idea?

Very Good!

It is used in baking and antacid to reduce stomach acid

and it can be used also used in treating indigestion.

Another example of an ionic compound is sodium

hydroxide, which is used as a cleaning agent. And it is
also a component to soap and detergent that we used in
our daily life.

Now, let’s move on to covalent compound, so it is the

substances that are formed from the chemical
combination of two or more non-metals or a metalloid
and non-metal. In covalent bond, there is sharing of
valence electrons unlike the ionic compound where
there should be a transfer of electron.

Furthermore, the force of attraction between the shared

electrons and the positive nuclei of both atoms holds
the atoms together in the molecule.

Who has an idea of what is a molecule?

Very well- said!

A molecule is the smallest particle of a covalent

compound that has the properties of a compound.

Based on our previous example, we have table sugar

which is sucrose, an example of a covalent compound.

Its chemical formula is C12H22O11. As you notice in the

table, we have carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen which are
all non-metals, thus making it a covalent compound.

Another example of a covalent bond is water.

Who has an idea why water is considered as an

example of a covalent bond?

Very well-said!

So as you notice, water is composed of hydrogen and

oxygen which is both non-metals, wherein it shares
electrons in order to form water molecule.

Now let’s proceed to some common covalent

compound and their uses.

First example is carbon dioxide (CO2), is used as n

refrigerant in fire extinguishers

What do you think are the other uses of carbon

dioxide?

Very Good!

Carbon dioxide is an essential gas that is needed plant

and animal processes like in photosynthesis and cellular
respiration which is part of our previous lessons.

However, what do you think is the effect if there is an

excessive amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Very well-said!
Excessive amount of carbon dioxide can contribute to
global warming.

Lastly, we have water H2O, which is one of the most

important substances.

What do you think is the importance of water into our

daily life?

Good job!

Water is an essential to life processes, because we need

water for our cells, tissues, and organs.

It regulates our body temperature and is essential for

daily and domestic use. And it also plays an important
role in the balance of the ecosystem.
