Chemical compounds are formed by the joining of two or more atoms. A stable compound occurs when the total energy of the combination has lower energy than the separated atoms. The bound state implies a net attractive force between the atoms ... a chemical bond. The two extreme cases of chemical bonds are:
Covalent bond: bond in which one or more pairs of electrons are shared by two atoms.
Ionic bond: bond in which one or more electrons from one atom are removed and
attached to another atom, resulting in positive and negative ions which attract each other.
ionic bonds are the strongest bonds formed.
and ionic bond is a chemical bond in which an atom "steals" the number of electrons needed to fill up its outermost energy level.
a covalent bond is a chemical bond in which the atoms share electrons so that both of their outermost energy levels are filled.
Ionic bonds are made when electrons are transferred. Covalent bonds are made when electrons are shared.
An ionic bond is a chemical bond that occurs when an atom transfers an electron to another atom. contrast ,a covalent bond forms when two atoms share electrons.
The strength of any bond ionic or covalent is highly variable. Look at a table of Bond Dissociation Energies and compare the energies to see which is stronger.
covalent bond formed by equal sharing of valance electron while ionic bond forms between donation and accept-ion of valance electron.
It is ionic
No, it is not a covalent bond. It is an Ionic bond.
covalent
Covalent, Metallic, and Ionic crystals have high melting points and densities, but molecular crystals tend to be soft and has a lower melting point. Covalent crystal=covalent bond and Ionic crystal=ionic bond.
