Ionic compounds: NaCl, KOH, CuSO4, etc. Any compound containing a metal and a non-metal. In ionic compounds, metals have positive ions (they lose electrons to the non metal) and non-metals have negative ions (as they gain electrons from the metal)
Covalent compounds: CH4, BF3, NH3, all hydrocarbons/ all compounds containing only non-metals.
I am an artificial intelligence program running on a computer, so I am not made of either ionic or covalent compounds.
Covalent compounds have lower melting points compared to ionic compounds because covalent bonds are generally weaker than ionic bonds. In covalent compounds, individual molecules or atoms are held together by shared electrons, which are weaker than the electrostatic attraction in ionic compounds. Hence, less energy is required to break the bonds in covalent compounds, resulting in lower melting points.
A telephone receiver is not a compound itself, but the materials used to make it can be either ionic or covalent compounds. The components of a telephone receiver, such as plastics and metals, are typically made of covalent compounds.
covalent compounds --------- It is inadequate to discuss about a telephone in terms of ionic and covalent compounds.
Melting points of covalent compounds are generally lower than those of ionic compounds. This is because covalent compounds have weaker intermolecular forces compared to the strong electrostatic forces present in ionic compounds, so they require less energy to break apart the molecules.

Compounds that do not likely have ionic bonds are covalent compounds, which involve the sharing of electrons between atoms rather than the transfer of electrons. Examples include water (H2O), methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2).
Ionic compounds dissociate into their constituent ions when they dissolve in solutions, whereas covalent compounds do not dissociate into ions and remain as molecules. This means that ionic compounds can conduct electricity in solution due to the presence of free ions, while covalent compounds generally do not conduct electricity in solution.
Boron and iodine can form both ionic and covalent compounds. Boron typically forms covalent compounds, while iodine can form both covalent and ionic compounds depending on the specific elements it is bonding with.
Ionic Compounds are formed by complete transfer of electrons while Covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons. Ionic compounds have higher melting points while covalent compounds have lower.
Many compounds have both covalent and ionic bonds. For example, soaps are made of a carboxylic acid salt with sodium; the carbon chain is covalent, but the bond between the sodium and the oxygen is ionic.
Ionic compounds generally have higher melting and boiling points.
