Ionic vs. Covalent
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Atoms share electrons to become more stable | covalent |
| High melting and boiling point | Ionic |
| Conduct electricity when dissolved in water | Ionic |
| Usually occurs between nonmetals | covalent |
| Poor electrical conductors | covalent |
| only partially dissolves in water or not at all | covalent |
| crystalline solids that are made of ions | ionic |
| there is a full transfer of electron from one atom to another | Ionic |
| Usually occurs between metals and nonmetals | ionic |
| hydrogen and another non-metal chemically bond together | covalent |
| low melting and boiling points | covalent |
| dissolves easily in water | ionic |
