The student conducted an experiment to determine if specific compounds formed ionic or covalent bonds. They tested 5 compounds - water, sodium chloride, sucrose, dextrose, and sodium sulfate. Their hypotheses were that sodium chloride and sodium sulfate would form ionic bonds and have high melting points, while the others would form covalent bonds and have low melting points. Their results supported all three hypotheses - the ionic compounds had higher melting points and conducted electricity when dissolved in water, while the covalent compounds had lower melting points and did not conduct electricity. The purpose of determining bond type was met through this experiment.
