How are covalent and ionic bonds different?
Electrons are shared in covalent bonds, and transferred in ionic
What are the characteristics of an ionic bond?(3)
- nonmetal+metal
- high melting point
- conductors
What are the characteristics of a covalent bond?(3)
- not conductors

covalent
Is the bond between Al and O covalent or ionic?
ionic
Is the bond between F and Cl covalent or ionic?
covalent
Is the bond between I and K covalent or ionic?
ionic
Is the bond between H and N covalent or ionic?
Both, because H acts as a metal and a nonmetal
