Ionic compounds form only between a metal and a non-metal. In water, the elements are Hydrogen and Oxygen, which are both non-metals. Therefore, water is a covalent compound.
Water contains no ionic bonds as it is a covalent compound.
No. Water is a polar covalent compound.
Ocean water is considered a mixture of both ionic and covalent compounds. It contains mainly ionic compounds such as sodium chloride (table salt), but also some covalent compounds like dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Mainly covalent see external link
Chlorine oxide would be a covalent compound, and not an ionic compound.
is carbon an tretaflouride ionic or covalent compound
An ionic compound dissociated in water is an electrolyte and is of course more conductive..
What I had found is that it is an Ionic compound
Water's chemical formula is given in the question.
H2O (water) is a covalent compound, as no metals are involved.
Hydrogen oxide (a.k.a. water) is a polar covalent compound.
H2O is a covalent compound. As hydrogen has only one electron in its outer most shell and oxygen has six electrons in its last shell. Oxygen needs two, while hydrogen requires only one electron to complete its last octave. So oxygen form two covalent bond with two hydrogen atoms. So, water is a covalent compound, but as oxygen is second most electronegative element in the periodic table so due to its high electronegativity the bond no more remains pure covalent, but converted to polar covalent. Hence, water molecule is a polar covalent compound.
