How do you represent ionic bonding with electron dot diagrams?
The electron dot diagram shows bonding by a 'cross' (x) as the electron of the other atom. Therefore shows bonding. Either ionic or covalent. In covalent it shows within atoms and in ionic the electrons are separate as it is transferred and not shared.
Why wouldn't you use a line to show shared electrons for an ionic compound?
The concept of shared electrons is not applicable to ionic compounds because in ionic bonds, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions. Using a line to show shared electrons would imply covalent bonding, which does not accurately represent the nature of ionic compounds.
How does polyatomic ions show covalent and ionic bonding?
A polyatomic ion is charged and will form ionic bonds; for example, the sulfate ion SO42- forms many compounds, such as sodium sulfate. The bonds holding polyatomic ions together are covalent.
What type of bonding pattern is found in carbon?
Almost all of the compounds of carbon are formed by covalent bonding. Compounds such as diamond and graphite show strict covalent character in bonding.
Is NH4Cl a covalent or ionic compound?
Yes. An ionic compound is between a cation and an anion. NH4+ (ammonium) serves as the cation and Cl- (Chloride ion) serves as the anion.You can also think about it this way. NH4 bonds covalently but the nitrogen still has one remaining electron that is not being bonded, this will TRANSFER to the Chlorine; making it an ionic bond.(Ionic bonds show a transfer of electrons whereas covalent bonds are when electrons are being shared.)While it does have covalent bonds in it, yes, it is an ionic compound.

Are metalloids ionic or covalent?
Well a good way of finding out is the check the electro-negativity between a non-metal and metalloid. I know that if the electro negativity is above 1.7 than it's an ionic compound, if it's below it's covalent. In this example I'll use silicon and sulfur. Si--------------S 1.8 2.5 E(S-Si)=2.5-1.8=0.7 It appears that silicon and sulfur would most likely form an covalent compound. Therefore metalloid when put with non-metals will most likely form covalent compound. I hope this helps :) Frank
Why carbon can not form fourth covalent bond?
With itself. Molecular bonding theory and the bond order show a sigma pi discrepancy ( bonding/anti-bonding ) that disallows this tetra-covalent carbon to carbon interaction. Google this for a fuller explanation.
How does polyatomic ions show covalent and ionic bonding?
A polyatomic ion is charged and will form ionic bonds; for example, the sulfate ion SO42- forms many compounds, such as sodium sulfate. The bonds holding polyatomic ions together are covalent.
Which model would be more difficult to create a model of an ionic bond or a model of a covalent bond?
The ionic bond would be harder as it is harder to show the ionic charges.
What are compound having both ionic and covalent bonds show some names of compounds?
amphoteric
What type of bonding pattern is found in carbon?
Almost all of the compounds of carbon are formed by covalent bonding. Compounds such as diamond and graphite show strict covalent character in bonding.
How lithium show deviation due to small size?
The lithum cation is small and therefore highly polarising.(Fajans rules) Lithium chloride is relatively low melting and unlike any of the other group1 metal chlorides forms hydrates. Lithium salts often exhibit covalent characteristics. The bonding is ionic with some covalent character.
Is NH4Cl a covalent or ionic compound?

How do you make a networked concept map of chemical bondings using the terms ionic covalent ions positive ions negative ions molecules polar and nonpolar?
Chemical Bonding to to 1. Ionic Bond 1. Covalent Bond to to 2. Ions 2. Molecules to to 3. Nonpolar Molecule 3. Polar Molecule to both 4. Positive Ions & 4. Negative Ions
Which bond is pure covalent bond?
Every bond formed show both ionic and covalent character to different extent. Even a bond formed between similar atoms show a slight ionic character as their electron distribution is most probably asymmetrical.
