Question 19
The teacher demonstrates heating wax, potassium iodide, zinc chloride and sulfur separately, then testing each molten sample with graphite electrodes, a lamp and cells. Record your own observations; no measured results are supplied.
Wax is a compound with a simple molecular structure. Sulfur is an element with a simple molecular structure. Zinc chloride and potassium iodide are ionic compounds.
Based on your observations, describe the differences between solids with a simple molecular structure and those with a giant ionic structure.
