What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds, and how do they impact the properties of compounds?
Answer 1
Sonya Fisher
Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, creating charged ions. Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons. Ionic compounds tend to have high melting and boiling points and conduct electricity when molten or dissolved in water. Covalent compounds generally have lower melting and boiling points and do not conduct electricity.
