Atoms indifferent proportions and combinations make up compounds with different characteristics. To help scientists classify, categorize and characterize matter, all compounds are divided into two major types; ionic compounds and molecular compounds. Ionic compounds are formed when oppositely charged ions attract and form ionic bonds. Molecular compounds are formed when atoms share electrons, forming molecular bonds. The types of bonds formed are what give ionic and molecular compounds their unique characteristics.  \nResearch Question: How do we use models to illustrate ionic and molecular compounds?  \nMaterials:  \nDifferent colored marshmallows  \nDifferent sized marshmallows Toothpicks  \nFelt pens  \nProcedure:  \n1. Using the marshmallows provided to you, build the following molecules using:  \na. Large marshmallows to represent anions  \nb. Small marshmallows to represent cations  \nc. Toothpicks to represent the bonds between atoms / ions  \nd. Different colored marshmallows to represent different atoms  \n2. Determine how you will represent the atom of each element (size, color, etc)  \n3. Build each model to show one balanced formula unit. You may need to use more than one type of atom “atom” to illustrate a balanced chemical formula. Record the compound name, formula, number of each element and diagram of your model for each.  \nMolecular Compounds  \nSelect three of the following molecular compounds to model and complete the following chart to summarize your understanding of molecular chemical formulas and nomenclature.  \nBr2 Cl2 CCl2 PF3 SiO2 SO2  \nIonic Compounds  \nCreate three ionic compounds by selecting one metal and one non-metal from the following list.  \n*For the transition metals you can pick the ion charge you want to use for your compound.  \n** Be sure to select at least one with multiple ion charges.  \n\n| Metal Choices | Non-metal Choices |\n| --- | --- |\n| Na | O |\n| Ca | Cl |\n| Fe* | N |\n| Pb* | P |\n\nObservations:  \nMolecular Compounds  \n\n| Chemical Formula | Chemical Name | Number of each element present | Model Diagram |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |\n\nIonic Compounds:  \n\n| Elements Selected with their ion charge |  | Number of each element present (remember to balance your charges) | Chemical\u003Cbr>Formula | Chemical Name | Model Diagram |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Metal\u003Cbr>Ion | Non\u003Cbr>Metal\u003Cbr>Ion |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |\n\n\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n\nAnalysis:  \n1. Could you tell from your models, which compounds were ionic and which were molecular? Explain.  \n2. How did the ionic compound models differ from the molecular compound models?  \n3. How were the ionic and molecular compound models similar?  \nConclusion:  \nExtension:  \n1. Use your library and the internet to find out about other types of forces that create bonds between atoms. Prepare a visual presentation describing at least two of these forces.  \n2. Using your library or the internet, look up the structures of the compounds you made models for. How are the structures you found in your research similar to those you made in this activity? How are they different?  \n3. Find out how many sugar molecules would fit in one average sized marshmallow. Describe and explain how you found this out.","cbCairBpMBa99wcr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairBpMBa99wcr","pdf",135446,"English","# Learner Outcomes\n# Key Terms\n# Background Information\n# Research Question\n# Materials\n# Procedure\n## Molecular Compounds\n## Ionic Compounds\n# Observations\n# Analysis\n# Conclusion\n# Extension","[{\"question\":\"How do the models show anions, cations, and bonds in this activity?\",\"answer\":\"Students use large marshmallows to represent anions and small marshmallows to represent cations.
