Question

make a list of four differences between ionic compounds and covalent compounds

Answer 1

Ionic compound
Ionic compound is a chemical compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding. The compound is neutral overall, but consists of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions.

covalent compounds
 A covalent compound is made when two or more nonmetal atoms bond by sharing valence electrons. The shared valence electrons between two nonmetal atoms is called a covalent bond. Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms begin sharing electrons

Answer 2

1》》Ionic compounds are formed by transfer of electrons that are positively charged and negatively charged.
》》Covalent compounds are formed by sharing the electrons.

2》》Melting and boiling points of ionic compounds are 》》much higher compared to those of covalent compounds.

3》》Ionic compounds are hard and crystal - like .
》》Covalent compounds are softer and more flexible .

4》》Covalent compounds are more flammable 》》compared to ionic compounds .........
