Give difference between Covalent Bonds and Ionioc Bonds (Don't give irrelevant replies please)
DEAR STUDENT,
The ionic bond is the electrostatic force of attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds join metals to non-metals. In contrast, atoms with the same electronegativity share electrons in covalent bonds, because neither atom preferentially attracts or repels the shared electrons. The differences between the two can be written as:
REGARDS,
The ionic bond is the electrostatic force of attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds join metals to non-metals. In contrast, atoms with the same electronegativity share electrons in covalent bonds, because neither atom preferentially attracts or repels the shared electrons. The differences between the two can be written as:
| IONIC BOND | COVALENT BOND |
| Occurs due to the transfer of electrons. | Occurs when 2 atoms share their valence electrons |
| Binding energy is much higher than the metallic bond. | Binding energy is slightly higher than the metallic bond |
| Low conductivity | Very low conductivity |
| It is a Non-directional bond | It is a Directional bond |
| Present only in one state: solid-state | Present only in all 3 states: solid, liquid, gases |
| Higher melting and boiling point | Lower melting and boiling point |
