ionic compounds have high melting point and high boiling point and they are non volatile wheras covalent bonds usually have low boiling and low melting point and are usually volatile
2 ionic compounds are usually soluble in water wheras covalent compounds areusually insoluble and donot conduct electricity whereas ionic copound conduct electricity when dissolved in water or melted

Hello....

⏺Ionic Compounds are :–

1⃣The bonding in ionic compounds involves a metal and a non metal.

2⃣ They involve transfering of electrons in formation of compounds.
The bonds are formed due to electrostatic force of attraction.

3⃣ They are extremely polar .

4⃣ They are good conductor of electricity in molten form.

5⃣ They are soluble in polar solvent.

6⃣They have high m.pt and b.pt due to strong electrostatic force of attraction.

7⃣ They contain stronger bond due to ionic bonding : Ex, NaCl, KCl, etc

⏺Covalent compounds :-

1⃣ These compounds contain bonding between non metals.

2⃣ They have sharing of electrons in atoms

3⃣ They are either non-polar or have less polarity.

4⃣ Their shape is not definite

5⃣ They have comparative low m.pt and b.pt.

6⃣ they may be soluble in both the polar and non-polar solvents

7⃣ They have comparatively weak bonding due to covalent nature. Ex: CH4 , CO2 etc

thank you :)
