Question
You will plan, design, and conduct your own investigation to compare the electrical forces between molecules in two different substances by observing and comparing bulk properties. You will need to decide which substances you want to evaluate, and then, develop a procedure. Read the directions and review the key words for this lesson as you answer the following about your investigation.
Step 1: Substances

1. **Substance 1: Sodium Chloride (Table Salt)**
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound, which means it consists of positively and negatively charged ions held together by strong electrostatic forces. Observing its bulk properties can help illustrate the significant electrical forces at play in ionic compounds.
2. **Substance 2: Sucrose (Sugar)**
Sucrose is a covalent compound that forms through the sharing of electrons between its constituent atoms, resulting in weaker intermolecular forces compared to ionic compounds. Comparing sucrose to sodium chloride will highlight the differences in electrical forces between ionic and covalent molecules based on their physical properties.
