Compare and contrast ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds with examples.
Ionic Bond: Formation: Occurs when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positive and negative ions. Example: Sodium chloride (NaCl) is formed when sodium donates an electron to chlorine. Properties: High melting and boiling points, electrical conductivity when dissolved in water or molten, usually soluble in water. Covalent Bond: … Read more
