Question

Write three differences between electrovalent compound & covalent compound.

Answer 1

three difference between electrovalent compound and covalent compound are

electrovalent compound

• the ionic bond present in electrovalent compound.
• the bond formed in electrovalent compound are stronger than covalent compound due to electrostatic force between positive and negative ion.
• electrovalent compound are also used in electrolysis.

Covalent compound

• due to sharing of electron covalent compound are formed .
• covalent bond is present in covalent compound which is weaker than electrostatic bond .
• covalent compound are not applicable in electrolysis.
