1. Show the class pictures of five very different mammals, such as a cat, kangaroo, horse, rabbit, and monkey. Explain that all these animals are mammals, and that mammals constitute one class of the animal kingdom, which also includes other classes, such as reptiles, birds, and fish. Ask students what these five mammals have in common and mark their responses on a sheet of chart paper.
When ionic compounds are in a molten state or dissolved in water, forming an aqueous solution, the ions that formed the ionic compounds are able to move around freely, thus able to conduct electricity.
Dissociation-When an ionic compound breaks up into its ions. Strong Electrolytes-Completely ionizes (or dissociates) when dissolved in water. Classes of strong electrolytes include strong acids, strong bases and soluble salts. compound that will dissolve in water to form a solution that does NOT conduct electricity due to ions not being produced. Examples-Sugar C12H22O11 and alcohol CH3OH. a compound that will dissolve in water to form a solution that will conduct electricity due to the presence of free ions.
