What is Understanding Covalent and Ionic Bonds about?
1) Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred between atoms to form ions, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between atoms. 2) The electronegativity difference between bonded atoms determines if the bond is ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent. 3) Covalent compounds have lower melting/boiling points and are softer than ionic compounds. They also tend to be more flammable and do not conduct electricity in water.
