Is it an ionic bond or covalent bond?
I'm in chem and wasn't paying much attention while we did our lab :( so now I need to write an essay about the lab and have got half of it done (intro and first body) but now i need the scientific explanation.
We used sodium hydroxide, zinc, pennies, and a bunsen burner to make brass pennies.
Any help?
:begs and pleads:
anybody?
I know this but I'm going to have to find my old Science notes from high school. I would have studied this during my final year so it won't be to hard to find those notes!
beyond the fact that they are on the opposite spectrum - zinc negative charged, copper positive - I honestly thought it was a Dative bond... I could be totally wrong. been some years since college.

that may help.
I THINK it was IONIC!
Although I havent done chem since I was 15 and Im so Next month so I am a wee bit rusty! :p
it probably is ionic, but ionic is normally nonmetal-metal, not metal-metal.
Oh! :eek:Quote:

Glad to help...did it over IM cuz it's probably alot faster than sittign for the boards to load.
[small]And I have a test on this in a week too...I'd better know this by Wednesday...
:D
That's good! Just found my notes and didn't find the answer to your question. Anyway it did say Brass is made up of 65% Copper & 35% Zinc. :D That's my science lesson for the day!Quote:
