Q&A

• What are the properties of ionic and covalent compounds?

  Ionic and covalent compounds differ in conductivity, hardness, melting/boiling points, malleability, ductility, volatility, and solubility. Ionic compounds generally have higher melting/boiling points and are more conductive, hard, and brittle compared to covalent compounds. Additionally, they exhibit low volatility and have specific solubility patterns.

• What is covalent bonding?

  Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electron pairs between non-metal atoms. This sharing allows the atoms to achieve a full outer shell, commonly referred to as an octet, to attain stability.

• How are ionic compounds formed?

  Ionic compounds are formed through ionic bonding, which occurs between a metal and a non-metal. It involves the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions for stability.

• What are the different types of chemical compounds?

  There are mainly two types of chemical compounds - ionic and covalent. Ionic compounds form through the complete transfer of electrons, creating ions, while covalent compounds form through the sharing of electron pairs.

• What is chemical bonding?

  Chemical bonding is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions, or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. It involves the sharing or transfer of electrons to achieve stability.
