Why don't hair perms wash out when you wash your hair in terms of ionic and covalent bonds?

The permanents are ionically bonded to the hair because the ionically bond is stronger. Which allows the permanents to stay permanent.

How do intermolecular forces compare to covalent and ionic bonds in terms of strength?
Ionic bonds create stronger intermolecular attraction than covalent bonds do; that is why rocks are harder than plastic.
What terms describe a substance that has a low melting point and poor electrical conductivity?
covalent and molecular
How do ionic and molecular compounds compare in terms of boiling points?
ionic bonds (ie salt, NaCl) are stronger and not as easily broken are covalent bonds (sugar). when you heat sugar, the bond is easily broken. it boils at a relatively low temperature. salt has a higher boiling point because the bond between the atoms of sodium and chlorine is ionic. ionic bonds are stronger than covalent.
Is telephone receiver a ionic or covalent compound?
covalent compounds --------- It is inadequate to discuss about a telephone in terms of ionic and covalent compounds.
Which is the strongest bond ionic covalent or metallic?
The relative strength of bonds is: Covalent > Ionic > Metallic > Hydrogen Bonding > Van der Walls Dispersion Forces This is only a general, as there are ionic substances that are quite strong, and relatively weak covalent substances. The strongest substances are network covalent, which includes diamond and, strangely enough, graphite. lie in general the ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds

Is a telephone receiver an ionic compound a ionic compound or a covalent compound?
im guessing covalent compound It is inadequate to discuss about a telephone in terms of ionic and covalent compounds. But, plastics are covalent compounds.
What are the different types of bonds bonds bonds?
Bid bonds will protect the owner of the project if the bid is not honored, performance bonds will guarantee the work will be completed according to the terms, and payment bonds will guarantee all payments that are due from the principal. These are the three types of construction bonds.
How are ionic and covalent compounds different in terms of melting and boiling point?
Ionic (e.g. sodium chloride etc.): highmelting/boiling points. Ionic bonds (electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions) must be broken to break the ionic lattice and form a liquid/gas. Ionic bonds are strong so lots of energy is required.Giant covalent (e.g. diamond, graphite, silicon dioxide): high melting/boiling points. Covalent bonds (shared pairs of electrons) must be broken for the substance to become a liquid/gas. Covalent bonds are strong so lots of energy is required.Simple covalent (e.g. water, hydrogen, ammonia, bromine): low melting/boiling points. Although covalent bonds are strong, they do not need to be broken in order to separate molecules and the substance become a liquid/gas. Only weak forces between the molecules must be overcome, which does not require much energy.
Is CO a ionic compound or a pure covalent compound?
I'm not sure what you mean by "purely covalent", since the ionic-vs-covalent distinction is expressed in terms of electronegativity, which can take a range of values (higher values = more ionic). CO is very much a covalent compound though.
Why is that metals are malleable and ionic crystals are brittle is best explaind in terms of their what?
chemical bonds
What does H2O represent in terms of covalent bonds?
H2O is the chemical formula of water.
How it is possible to have a purely covalent bond while it is not possible to have a purely ionic bond?
In valence bond terms pure covalent bonds are only possible between atoms of the same element, any ionic resonance forms are "symmetric" and contribute equally to the structure. In the case of ionic bonding the covalent resonance forms that contribute to the overall bond do not cancel in the same way, they may however be of a sufficiently different energy to the "pure" ionic resonance form to make only a minimal contribution to the overall bonding.
