How does an ionic bond differ from a covalent bond?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Ionic bonds transfer electrons and covalent bonds share electrons.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds tend to transfer electrons completely. Take NaCl for example.

Cl has 7 valence electrons.

Na has 1 valence electron.

To stabilize themselves, either with a full 8 shells or full outer shell, Cl wants 1 electron and Na wants to lose 1 electron. So when NaCl forms, Na donates its electron to Cl.

In a covalent bond, the electrons are shared. Water can be used as an example. The electrons in water usually are around the oxygen, but sometimes it is around the hydrogens.

Fran hangs three balloons from strings. She gives the first balloon a positive charge. She gives the second balloon a negative c
fgiga [73]

Explanation: We are given three balloon carrying different charges: One having positive charge, one having negative charge and one having no charge.

When we bring positive rod near these three balloons, all of them behave differently.

According to the Coulomb's Law:

Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.

  • When we bring positive rod towards the balloon having positive charge, the balloon will move away from the rod, because like charges repel each other.
  • When we bring positive rod near negative balloon, the balloon will be attracted to the rod because unlike charges attract each other.
  • But, when we bring positive rod towards the balloon having no charge, the charges will be induced in the balloon. Although the balloon is neutral in nature but it will still carry some +ve or -ve charges. So, when the positive rod is bought near neutral ball, the negative side of the balloon will get attracted towards the rod and positive side will be repelled. From this, we say that the rod has induced some charges in the balloon.

Flura [38]

Answer:

Combining the two clear colorless liquids is a chemical change.

Explanation:

Because a different solid substance is formed. Tell students that a precipitate is an insoluble solid that forms when two solutions are combined and react chemically. Insoluble means that the solid will not dissolve.
