How can you tell what kinds of bonds a compound has when youre looking at the formula?
There are two kinds of chemical bonds: ionic and covalent. Ionic bonds are formed by a metal and a nonmetal when the metal gives the nonmetal electrons. The nonmetal fills its electron shell and the metal empties its shell and the two are bond by electrical attraction between the (+) metal and the (-) nonmetal. Covalent bonds are formed by two nonmetals sharing electrons.So the secret to determining covalent vs ionic bonds is determing whether an atom is a metal or a nonmetal. Fortunately, the periodic table has that information: metals are in groups 1, 2, the middle section, and the elements to the left of the "stair step" bold line that winds down the chart. The nonmetals are on the right side of that line.
