Answer:
FACTORS INFLUENCING CHEMICAL BONDS
Ionic bonding is a chemical bond between a positive ion and negative ion. Ionization energy, electronegativity, and lattice energy are the factors that influence the formation of ionic bonds of elements.
CHARACTERISTIC OF IONIC BONDS
Ionic compounds are hard and brittle. Ionic compounds dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. Solutions of ionic compounds and melted ionic compounds conduct electricity, but solid materials do not. An ionic compound can be identified by its chemical formula: metal + nonmetal or polyatomic ions.
CHARACTERISTIC OF COVALENT BOND
Covalent compounds have bonds where electrons are shared between atoms. Due to the sharing of electrons, they exhibit characteristic physical properties that include lower melting points and electrical conductivity compared to ionic compounds.
