What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonding?

Chemistry
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago
8 0

In an ionic bond, one atom essentially donates an electron to stabilize the other atom. The atoms in an ionic bond have different electronegativity values from each other.

While in a covalent bond, the atoms are bound by shared electrons and the electronegativity values are the same.

Which is the most accurate description of compounds?
baherus [9]

Answer: c.They have a unique set of properties that can be used as identifiers.

Explanation:

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.

Compounds can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.

Example: Water (H_2O)

2H_2O\rightarrow 2H_2+O_2

Compounds have different properties than the elements it is made up of.

Thus the most accurate description of compounds is that they have a unique set of properties that can be used as identifiers.
