Hi fellas,
I encountered this problem where i had to detect the presence of ionic bonds in this sample (which i dont know what material its made of, but i do know it contains 2 different materials and i need to know if they form ionic bonds with each other).
I tried using TGA test to find out the denaturation temperature of the sample and also of the pure sample(with only 1 material alone) and found out that the denaturation temperature of the sample was slightly higher than the pure sample. However, i do not know whether this is cause by ionic interactions or covalent interactions or just Vander waals. I was wondering if anyone here happen to know of any experiments that can be carried out to detect ionic bonds? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
