Ionic or Molecular? Table 1 provides data on the physical properties of seven compounds. Your task is to classify the compounds as either ionic or molecular. Purpose To use provided data to determine whether each of the listed compounds is ionic or molecular SKILLS Procedure A2.4 HANDBOOK 1. Copy Table 1 into your notebook. Examine the data. Analyze and Evaluate (a) Consider the differences in physical properties for ionic and molecular compounds, and predict which compounds are ionic and which are molecular. Complete the two right-hand columns of your table. Most of the substances have been discussed in this chapter.
