Question 3

what is ionic compound formed between?

Answer 3

metal to non-metal

Question 4

what is covalent substance formed between?

Answer 4

non-metal to non-metal

Question 5

how do ionic compound become stable?

Answer 5

they transfer valence electrons

Question 6

how do covalent substance become stable?

Answer 6

they share valence electrons

Question 7

does ionic compound have a high melting and boiling point? Why?

Answer 7

yes, because a lot of energy is needed to overcome as there is strong attraction between the oppositely charged ions

Question 8

does covalent substance have a high melting and boiling point? Why?

Answer 8

no, because only a little energy is needed to overcome as there is a weak attraction between the molecules

Question 9

Answer 11

yes

Question 12

is covalent substance soluble in organic solvent?

Answer 12

yes

Question 13

does ionic compound and covalent substance conduct electricity? Why?

Answer 13

no, they have no mobile ions or electrons

Question 14

does ionic compound conduct electricity in aqueous or molten state? Why?

Answer 14

yes, it has mobile ions

Question 15

does covalent substance conduct electricity in aqueous and molten state? why?

Answer 15

no, all electrons are locked up in the covalent bond
