Covalent Bonding

Question 1

What is the definition of an ionic bond?

Answer 1

The ionic bond is the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions

Question 2

Define covalent bond

Answer 2

The electrostatic force of attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the two adjacent nuclei

Question 3

Molecules

Answer 3

Always covalent

Question 4

Any metals involved

Answer 4

Ionic

Question 5

Types of covalent bonds

Answer 5

Single
Double
Trip,e

Question 6

Ionic compounds structure

Answer 6

They have a giant structure with a lattice pattern. Made up of negative and positive charges but have no overall charge. There are strong bonds ( EFOA) between the ions and a lot of them which means a lot of energy is needed to overcome these bonds. This is why they have a high melting point

Question 7

Covalent bonds

Answer 7

Are also strong however the intermolecular forces between the the molecules is weak. This is why they have boiling points
