Q
what is the difference in properties between ionic and covalent bonds
A
Covalent compounds can be either polar or nonpolar, but they contain weaker bonds than ionic compounds because they are sharing electrons
10
Q
what is the difference between a polar and non polar bond?
A
. Polar means there is unequal sharing of electrons, while nonpolar means equal sharing
11
Q
Explain how electronegativity determines what type of bond two atoms will form
A
large differences in electronegativity result in ionic bonds, while smaller differences result in covalent bonds
12
Q
What happens with electrons during nonpolar covalent bonds
A
