Background
Collaborative learning has been found to be very effective, producing higher
learning gains than competitive or individualistic learning situations.1 This
contract is meant to help you clarify the roles and responsibilities for your
group that are associated with completing the Ionic Compound Project.
C. Time-keeper * (Keeps track of time during each break out room and deadline)
● Member’s name:____________________
D. Assignment-keeper * (Performs last check on the assignment and turns in the group’s
assignment on Canvas)
● Member’s name:____________________
*For those who are not in groups of 4, the student who is a Time-keeper is also an Assignment-
keeper
Section 3: Agreement
We have all contributed to and reviewed this group contract and agree to uphold the standards
that we have set for ourselves. We will monitor not only our own behavior, but also that of our
group members. We understand that it is our responsibility to enforce this contract and our
success in this class is dependent upon successful group work.

Lesson summary
Ionic bonds are a class of chemical bonds that result from the exchange of one or more
valence electrons from one atom, typically a metal, to another, typically a nonmetal. This
electron exchange results in an electrostatic attraction between the two atoms called an
ionic bond. An atom that loses one or more valence electrons to become a positively
charged ion is known as a cation, while an atom that gains electrons and becomes
negatively charged is known as an anion.
This exchange of valence electrons allows ions to achieve electron configurations that
mimic those of the noble gases, satisfying the octet rule. The octet rule states that an atom
is most stable when there are eight electrons in its valence shell. By satisfying the octet
rule, ions are more stable.
A cation is indicated by a positive superscript charge (+ something) to the right of the
atom. An anion is indicated by a negative superscript charge (- something) to the right of
the atom. For example, if a sodium atom loses one electron, it will have one more proton
than electron, giving it an overall +1 charge. The chemical symbol for the sodium ion is
Na+1 or just Na+. Similarly, if a chlorine atom gains an extra electron, it becomes the
chloride ion, Cl–. Both ions form because the ion is more stable than the atom due to the
octet rule. [1]

Purpose: The purpose of this laboratory simulation is to examine the effect of concentration on
an ionic compound’s ability to conduct electricity.
Essential Question: How does the concentration of salt (NaCl) affect its ability to conduct
electricity?
Pre-Lab Questions
1. What kinds of elements make ionic compounds? Do they have charges? If yes, what are
their charges?
4. Do ionic compounds dissolved in water conduct electricity? Explain why or why not.
Part I: Testing how different types of molecules (ionic and nonpolar compounds) affect the
conductivity of electricity.

Experimental Design: Using the PHET Simulation and the material list, write a procedure to
determine which type of molecules conducts electricity. (Hint: Identify your independent
variable, dependent variable, and constants)
After conducting the experiment, what do you observe? Which types of molecules conduct
electricity and why? Explain in terms of the interaction between the molecules and water.
Part II: Testing how the concentration of ionic compounds affects their ability to conduct
electricity.
Experimental Design: Using the PHET Simulation and the material list, write a procedure to
examine how the concentration of ionic compounds affects their conductivity of electricity.
(Hint: Identify your independent variable, dependent variable, and constants)
After conducting the experiment, what do you observe? Does increasing the concentration of
ionic compounds increase the conductivity of electricity? If yes, why and if no, why not? Explain
in terms of charges and interaction between the molecules and water.
Is your hypothesis supported? If yes, how? Using the evidence that you observed from the
simulation.
