Ionic compounds:
•Have molecules that consists of charged ions and these ions have positive and negative charges.
• ionic compounds are formed by electrical attraction of two of more ions
• ionic compounds have a high melting & boiling points
• the bonds of ionic compounds are crystal like
• can conduct electricity in water
Covalent compounds:
• they are non metals bound together & consist of two electrons shared between two atoms
• formed when two non metals bound together
• they have lower melting and boiling point
• they easily separate because they are formed from distinct molecules that don’t bond together
• covalent compounds are softer and more flexible
• covalent compounds cannot conduct electricity under water because they are non polar
