Question

Differentiate between ionic compounds and covalent compounds.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ionic compounds

• 1. Ionic compounds are formed a complete transfer of elements
• 2. They have high melting and boiling points
• 3. Ionic compounds are soluble in water and generally insoluble in organic solvents

Covalent compounds:

• 1. Covalent compounds are formed by the mutual sharing electrons.
• 2. They have low melting and boiling points.
• 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ionic compounds:

1. Ionic compounds are formed a complete transfer of elements
2. They have high melting and boiling points
3. Ionic compounds are soluble in water and generally insoluble in organic solvents.
4. Ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity in the molten state as well as in aqueous solutions.
5. Ionic compounds react fast due to the ionic nature of the reactions

                               Whereas,

Covalent compounds:

1. Covalent compounds are formed by the mutual sharing electrons.
2. They have low melting and boiling points
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. Except for polar compounds, they are nonconductors of electricity, i.e., they are electrical insulators.
5. Covalent compounds react slowly due to the molecular nature of the reactions.
