A group of students collected the following data to determine whether compounds were ionic or covalent in nature. They placed each compound in a small bowl and stuck two open ends of a battery powered circuit in the compound. If the light bulb lit up they marked the substance as electrically conductive, and if the bulb did not light up they marked it as not electrically conductive. Compound:

HCl KCl CaO SiO2

Conductive?

No No No No

Based on the student’s data, can they determine which substances are ionic and which are covalent?

A.
Yes, because all of these compounds are ionic since they are not conductive.

B.
Yes, because all of these compounds are covalent since they are not conductive.

C.
No, because ionic compounds are only conductive in an aqueous solution.

D.
No, because covalent compounds are only conductive in an aqueous solution.

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.
