Question

What is the difference between ionic bonds, covalent bonds and polar bonds?

Answer 1

Answer:

In ionic compounds there exist charged species cationic and anionic whereas in case of polar covalent compound there exist partial charge formation i.e partial cationic and anionic , between two atoms forming polar covalent compound .

We can also determine this on the basis of electronegativity difference , of electronegativity difference between two atoms forming compound less than 1.7 then covalent in nature, and if two different atoms is there then the one which is more electronegative than other attract the electron cloud towards itself and carry partial negative charge and the other one carry partial positive charge.

But if the electronegativity difference is greater than 1.7 then the compound is ionic in nature.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ionic bonds are when an atom gives another atom a # of electrons due to the octet rule. For example, sodium has 1 more electron than it wants, so it gives an electron to chlorine, which really really wants an electron because it only has 1 to go. Covalent bonding is when 2 atoms share electrons and trick themselves into thinking that it has an octet. Polar bonding is a kind of covalent bonding in which one of the atoms is more electronegative than the other, so the electrons get closer to it. An example of this is water.
