Testing State of Matter: Is substance a solid

It can be a covalent, ionic or mettalic substance because all of these substances can be solid at room temperature.

Testing Lustre: Is substance lustrous

Substance would most likely be covalent or ionic

Substance would most likely be metallic.

Testing Hardness and Malleability: What happens if force is applied to substance

It bends

Substance is most likely metallic because many metallic substances are malleable

Substance is most likely ionic or mettalic because many ionic and metallic substances are hard

Substance is most likely covalent or ionic because covalent and ionic substances are brittle.

Substance is most likely covalent because covalent substances are soft

Testing Electrical conductivity: Is substance electrically conductive

Substance is most likely ionic or covalent because ionic or covalent substances do not conduct electricity when in solid form

Substance is most likey mettalic because mettalic substances conduct electricity

Testing MP: does substance melt over bunsen burner (if substance is liquid then skip this step)

Testing solubility and reactivity with water: Can substance be dissolved in water

Substance can be either mettalic, covalent or ionic

Substance cannot be mettalic. This is because metallic substance cannot dissolve in water without reacting

Testing Electrical conductivity as an aquareous solution: Is substance electrically conductive

Substance is most likey covalent. This is because covalent substances aren't electrically conductive when they are aquareous

Substance is most likely ionic. This is because ionic substances are electrically conductive when they are aquareous

Substance is metallic. Some metallic substances react with water.

Substance is probably covalent because covalent substances have low MP

Substance can be either covalent, ionic, or mettalic. This is because covalent, ionic and mettalic substances can have a higher MP than the heat from the Bunsen burner
