The alkali metals all are shiny, silvery, soft, they have low densities, they can float on water, are very reactive and rarely found alone.

Do binary ionic compounds have bonds that share two valence electrons?
No. Ionic compounds are held together by ionic bonds.
What accounts for the observed differences in the properties of ionic and molecular compounds?
t Answer Well firstly, ionic compounds form from metals bonding with non metals. Molecular/covalent form from non metals bonding with non metals. A strong electrostatic force between ionic compounds results in them having high melting points. A weaker electrostatic force between molecular compounds results in them having lower melting points and thus weaker bonds. Ionic compounds are made up of ions, so will conduct electricity. Covalent compounds only share electrons and so are not ions, and will not conduct electricity.
What are the properties of an ionic bond?
Ionic bonds are formed between metallic and non-metallic elements. The electrostatic attractions between the oppositely charged ions forms a lattice structure. Ionic compounds share similar properties, such as not conducting electricity while solid. But good electrical conductivity in aqueous solution or a liquid state.
Do ionic compounds share electrons?
No they do not, electrons are transferred between atoms
How do the properties of metals differ from those of both ionic and molecular compounds?
Metals share properties such as: malleability, conductivity, strength and hardness. The reason properties of metals are different is because of metallic bonding. metals are made up of positively charged metal ions in a sea of delocalised electrons. This gives them the properties listed above. Ionic and molecular compounds are bonded in different ways. e.d ionic compounds are bonded in a rigid structure so it is brittle and non conductive
Covalent compounds display which of these properties?
Covalent compounds are neutral. Covalent compounds share electrons. apex:)
What type of bonds would create mostly solids?
Most ionic bonds produce solid substances (at normal conditons.) Most ionic compounds are crystalline solids. An example are the salts. All combinations of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals to halogens or chalcogens, or negative polyatomics,are considered salts, and they share many physical properties.

Does bromine lose or share electrons in compounds?
Both. Bromine gains one electron in ionic compounds. Bromine will share electron in covalent compounds.

Are molecular and covalent the same thing?
Molecular bonds and covalent bonds are indeed the same thing, this is because covalent bonds share pairs of electrons with their neighbor atom(s), unlike ionic compounds. Ionic compounds(mostly salts) are held together due the difference of their electric load, the bigger the difference in loading the more powerful the bond will be. Another difference is that ionic compounds split into ions when they are dissolved into solution..
How does atoms combine to form ionic compounds?
They share their electrons to become stable.

What is the properties of covalent bond?
Covalent compounds generally have much lower melting and boiling points that ionic compounds. Covalent compounds are soft and squishy. Covalent compounds tend to be more flammable that ionic compounds. Covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in water. Covalent compounds aren't usually very soluble in water.
What are the two major types of compounds?
There are two types of compounds: molecular and ionic. ill give you an example of each Water-H20 molecular compound Salt-NaCl ionic compoundThere are ionic compounds which is a compound formed by a positive metal ion and a negative nonmetal ion. And there are convalent compounds which is a compound formed in which atoms share electrons.
