Analysis of bond types in a series of compounds. Qualitative Investigation Introduction You are provided with three simple chlorides, A, B and C of elements that are in the same period of the Periodic Table. Your task is to carry out the reactions below, record your observations and inferences and then identify the type of bond between the element and chlorine in each of the compounds and the order of the elements in the Periodic Table 1. Measure the pH of the distilled water supplied. Use this for refernce in the following reactions. pH of water = pH 5 2. Add about 0.5g of solid A to 5 cm³ of distilled water and measure the pH of the solution. Save the solution for further tests. OBSERVATION INFERENCE • White crystals dissolve very easily when shaken with water • pH 6 • Soluble in polar solvent (i.e. H2O) suggests that A is also a polar compound. • Ionic compounds are usually polar and are soluble...
