[HS.CHEM.2.7] - Construct a model to explain how ions dissolve in polar solvents (particularly water). Analyze and compare solubility and conductivity data to determine the extent to which different ionic species dissolve. Clarification Statement: Data for comparison should include different concentrations of solutions with the same ionic species, and similar ionic species dissolved in the same amount of water.
[HS.CHEM.1.2] -
Use the periodic table model to predict and design simple reactions that result in two main classes of binary compounds, ionic and molecular. Develop an explanation based on given observational data and the electronegativity model about the relative strengths of ionic or covalent bonds.
Clarification Statements: Simple reactions include synthesis (combination), decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, and combustion. Predictions of reactants and products can be represented using Lewis dot structures, chemical formulas, or physical models. Observational data include that binary ionic substances (i.e., substances that have ionic bonds), when pure, are crystalline salts at room temperature (common examples include NaCl, KI, Fe2O3); and substances that are liquids and gases at room temperature are usually made of molecules that have covalent bonds (common examples include CO2, N2, CH4, H2O, C8H18).
