9. Answer - Full-credit answers should include two of the following points:

• The chemist could measure the compound’s melting point. Melting points of ionic compounds are usually higher than those of covalent compounds.• The chemist could see if the substance dissolves in water. Many ionic compounds dissolve in water, while most (but not all) covalent compounds do not.• The chemist could measure the electrical conductivity of a solution containing the compound. Solutions of ionic compounds conduct electric current, while solutions of covalent compounds do not.
