Question

Anyone??...How are ionic and covalent compunds created?????

Answer 1

. . . or . . . simply: Ionic bonds form between + and - ions (electrons leave one [+] and go to the other [-]. Covalent bonds share electrons so they think they have eight outer shell electrons. Usually between - ions and especially prevalent between elements that bond with H and C.

Get an "A"

Answer 2

They are usually not created. They just are. One can combine 2Sb + 3I2 ===> 2SbI3 and get an ionic compound, but one usually doesn't. I think that your task next is to understand ionic bonding and to understand the properties of ionic compounds. The same for covalent ones. Simply stir the sugar into your coffee tomorrow without bothering about the two-electron bonds among carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.

Answer 3

Actually the reason any chemical reaction occurs is that the end products are more stable than are the starting materials.

Ionic compounds are made of a + and a - charged ion that are attracted by electrical charge difference. The + ion has the extra electrons removed and are more stable that way; the - ion has the extra electrons that came from the + ion and is more stable that way rather than neutral.

Covalent compounds the electron pair is shared creating a more equal electron pair use and no charge difference.
