write any two examples of ionic and covalent compound with complete explanation
Answers
Ionic Compound :- The compound which is made up of transfer of electrons between the atom is called ionic compound.
Ex :- Na ( 2,8,1) → Na+ (2,8 )
Cl (2,8,7) → Cl- (2,8,8)
here, Na has 1 valence electron it losses one electron to form sodium ion and chlorine accept one electron to form chloride ion.
KCl, HNO3 are some ionic compounds.
Covalent compounds :- The compounds which is made up of sharing of electrons between the atom is called covalent compounds.
Ex :- H * + *Cl → HCl
here hydrogen and chlorine both share their one electron and hydrogen completes it's duplet while chlorine completes it's octet.
CO2, H2O,CH4 are some covalent compounds.
Answer:
Example of ionic bonds— Sodium chloride and calcium oxide. Example of covalent bond— Water, carbon dioxide.
