NaCl
Covalent bonding and some of these bonds (C-O and O-H) are polar.
Ionic compounds.
Ionic bonding forms compounds.
Yes.
Silicon compounds can exhibit both ionic and covalent bonding. Compounds such as silicon dioxide (SiO2) have a covalent structure, while compounds like silicon carbide (SiC) can have more ionic character. The nature of bonding in silicon compounds depends on the electronegativity difference between silicon and the other elements involved.

Ionic bond.
No, sulfur and xenon do not typically form an ionic compound since they both tend to exhibit covalent bonding behavior. Ionic compounds are formed between elements with significantly different electronegativities, while covalent compounds are formed between elements with similar electronegativities.
The lattice energies of different ionic compounds vary in terms of their stability and bonding strength. Compounds with higher lattice energies are more stable and have stronger bonding compared to compounds with lower lattice energies.
Ionic bonding results in the formation of a crystal lattice structure, which makes ionic compounds hard and brittle. Due to their charged nature, ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. They also conduct electricity when dissolved in water or when melted due to the movement of ions.
Chemical Bonding
Yes, chemical bonding can involve a combination of ionic and covalent bonding. In some cases, elements or compounds may exhibit both types of bonding simultaneously, known as polar covalent bonding. This occurs when there is unequal sharing of electrons between atoms, resulting in partial charges within the molecule.
