Covalent bond - between two non metals
Hey Mate..
Differences between ionic and covalent bonds
Covalent bonds are much more common in organic chemistry than ionic bonds.
In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons, whereas in ionic bonds atoms transfer electrons.
The reaction components of covalent bonds are electrically neutral, whereas for ionic bonds they are both charged. This explains why sodium chloride (salt) conducts electricity when dissolved — its components are charged.
Covalent bonds are easier to break than ionic bonds.
Covalent bonds are far more common in nature than ionic bonds. Most molecules in living things are covalently bonded, for instance.
Covalent bonds can form between atoms of the same elements (i.e. H2). However, ionic bonds cannot do this.
Covalent bonds are formed between two non-metals, whereas ionic bonds are formed between a metal and non-metal.
Molecules formed by covalent bonds have a low melting point, whereas those with ionic bonds have a high melting point. The same relationship exists for boiling point.
At room temperature, covalently bonded molecules are in the vast majority of cases liquids or gases, whereas ionic compounds are solid....
