Ionic Bond
- Occurs during the transfer of electrons.
- Binding energy is higher than the metallic bond.
- Low conductivity
- Non- directional bond
- Present only in one state: solid-state
- Non - Ductile
- Higher melting point
- Unmoldable
- Higher Boiling Point
Covalent bond
- Occurs when 2 atoms share their valence electrons.
- The attraction of metal cations/atoms and delocalized electrons.
- Binding energy is less than covalent and ionic bond.
- Very low conductivity
- Has high electrical conductivity
- Directional bond
- Present only in all 3 states: solid, liquid, gases
- Mouldable
- Lower melting point
- Ductile
- Lower boiling point

Answer:
Ionic compounds are formed from strong electrostatic interactions between ions, which result in higher melting points and electrical conductivity compared to covalent compounds.
Covalent compounds have bonds where electrons are shared between atoms.
