What are two physical properties that differ between covalent and ionic bonds?

∙ 14y ago
There are more than two. In general:
Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points while ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.
Ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity when melted, while covalent compounds are not.
Ionic compounds are soluble in water, while covalent compounds are soluble in non-polar liquids.
These are the essentials, but other differences exist.
All of these are generalizations, exceptions do occur.

Why do coordinate covalent bonds differ from regular covalent bonds?
They only differ from regular covalent bonds because both oth electrons come from one atom. In other respects a coordinate covalent bons is simply a covalent bond as both electrons are shared between two atoms.
If isomers of an alkali have the same molecular formula how do they differ?
Isomers have different physical and chemical properties.
Why doesn't hydrogen have a family in the periodic table?
Because although it has one valence electron when neutrally charged, it shares almost none of the chemical or physical properties of the other Group 1 elements. For example, where they are metallic solids at STP, hydrogen is a gaseous covalent molecule.
Are there any physical properties that differ between isotopes?
Atomic Masses are different So Boiling point, freezing points. inter-molecular forces, etc may be different as they depend on atomic masses
Isotopes of an element differ from each other in the number of?
Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes have different physical properties but similar chemical properties.
How do chemical and physical properties differ?
chemical properties cannot be determined just by viewing or touching the substance and physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter.
Why is paper's physical properties different from water's physical properties?
There are a lot of reasons why paper's physical properties differ from water's physical properties.Paper is a solid, water is a liquid.Water is transparent, paper is not.Water flows smoothly, paper does not.etc.
How are isotopes alike?
Isotopes are exactly same with respect to all the chemical properties but they differ with respect to physical properties.
Considering physical properties how do quartz and calcite differ?
you use the scratch test
How are physical properties differ from physical changes?
A physical change would be a change in a physical property. A "physical property", by itself, may or may not change.

If isomers of an alkali have the same molecular formula how do they differ?
Isomers have different physical and chemical properties.
Which bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms that do not differ in their electronegativities?
This would be a nonpolar covalent bond.
Do a molecule have new properties when a chemical bond forms between two atoms?
Yes. The properties of the molecule will differ from the properties of the individual atoms of which it is made.
The physical properties of a solution that differ from those of its solute and solvent include freezing point boiling point and what?
Conductivity
