Question

Difference between ionic compound and covalent compound.​

Answer 1

Answer:

REFFER TO THE ATTACHMENT

Answer 2

1.Ionic compounds are formed a complete transfer of elements 1. Covalent compounds are formed by the mutual sharing electrons.

2.They have high melting and boiling points 2. They have low melting and boiling points

3.Ionic compounds are soluble in water and generally insoluble in organic solvents. 3. Covalent compounds are soluble in non-polar (organic) solvents such as benzene, carbon tetrachloride, etc., and they are generally insoluble in polar solvents such as water.

4.Ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity in the molten state as well as in aqueous solutions. 4. Except polar compounds, they are nonconductors of electricity, i.e., they are electrical insulators.

5.Ionic compounds react fast due to the ionic nature of the reactions 5. Covalent compound react slowly due to the molecular nature of the reactions.
