Question

what are covalant compounds?Explain why they different from ionic compound?List their properties

Answer 1

the compounds formed by the sharing of electrons is called as covalent compounds . they are different over ionic compounds because ionic compounds are formed by the complete transference of electrons

the properties of ionic compounds are :

1) they have strong forces of attraction

2) low melting and boiling points

3) conduct electricity in molten state and not in solid state

plz mark as brainliest

i have given a lot of info for 5 points :) :)

Answer 2

Covalent compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons between two elements. E.g. HCl,CO2 etc.

Ionic compounds are formed by lossing and gaining of eletorns. E.g. NaCl

Properties of covalent compounds are:

1. They have low melting and boiling points.

2. They are britle.

3. They have poor electical conductivity.
