Compounds are formed by the combination of atoms with bonds. These bonds are formed by the sharing of valence unpaired electrons of both bonded atoms or by the transfer of electrons . This form covalent or ionic bond and compounds are formed.

What is the difference between and ionic and covalent bond?
Compounds with covalent bonds form molecules. Compounds with ionic bonds form ionic lattices.
What types of elements form covalent compounds and what types of elements form ionic compoundsypes?
Ionic bonds are between metals and nonmetals. Covalent bonds are between nonmetals andnonmetals.Also covalent bonds consist that they share the electrons to get a full outer level but on the other hand ionic bonding consists in giving and taking away!
Compounds with both ionic and covalent bonds contain this type if ion?
Compounds with both ionic and covalent bonds contain polyatomic ions.
What bond forms inorganic molecules?
could be either ionic bonds or covalent bonds depending on the difference in the electronegativities between the two atoms forming bond.
Are covalent bonds more soluble than ionic bonds?
ionic compounds are more soluble than covalent.
How are molecular compounds different from an ionic compound?
In molecular compounds, atoms are joined by covalent bonds, while in ionic compounds, they are joined by ionic bonds.
How many ionic bonds does carbon form in its compounds?
Carbon normally forms four covalent bonds in its compounds, not ionic bonds.
Does polonium form ionic or covalent bonds?
Generally covalent compounds.
Is concrete made of ionic compounds or covalent compounds?
Concrete is made of covalent compounds with strong bonds. Non-metals and metals form ionic compounds only.
Is Vaseline ionic or covalent?
Petrol is a mixture of organic compounds. These organic compounds have covalent bonds.
Which type of bond forms compounds with distinctive shapes rather than forming massive crystals?
Covalent bond. Molecular compounds are formed by covalent bonds. Ionic bonds and metallic bonds form large crystal lattices (Some large crystals are covalent- like diamond)
Does gold form ionic or covalent bonds when it forms a compound?
Ionic compounds
