How is convalent compound different from an ionic compound?

Answer 1

Covalent bonds are different from ionic bonds because ionic bonds involve the sharing of electrons. Ionic bonds are also electrically conductive.

Answer 2

Covalent compounds share the electrons whereas the ionic compounds give and take electrons.

Answer 3

You can compare about the electrical conductivity, melting and boiling point,volatility and solubility between the two bonds

Hope this helps:D

Answer 4

Ionic compounds form frequently large lattices; in this case is more correct to use the term formula unit and not molecule.
