Whats the difference between inoc and coveant bonding?

Question

OPPS!! I meant Ionic and coveant bonding

Answer 1

inoc and coveant? Lol ok im not going to tell you because you REALLY need to do your homework

LOL AGAIN!  Ok you got the first one, an Ionic bond is a bond formed by ions of opposite charge...Coveant? Not sure what that is ;)

Answer 2

Ionic bonding is the bonding of element with large divergent electronegativities. Say, group 1A metals to halogens.

Na+ ( sodium ) gives up one electron in it's outer shell to assume a octet electron configuration. Cl- ( chlorine ) accepts one electron into it's electron configuration to have an octet electron configuration. So, you get, NaCl ( salt ) an ionic compound.

Now, a covalent compound is where electrons are shared in non-metals. Sometimes not equally, such as this molecule CH4 ( methane ) The carbon has the electron share balance more than the hydrogen. Called polar covalent. Water is like this. H2O. Some compounds, having more, or less, equal electronegativity, share equally. Such as CO2 ( carbon dioxide )
