Question

compare the two main types of bonding; ionic and covalent.

Answer 1

ionic
1)metal+non metal(it is transfer of electron)
2)strong electrostatic attraction folds oppositely charged ions together

covalent
1)non-metal+non-metal(sharing of electron)
2)Van der waal's forces of attraction exizt between the molecules

their physical properties aso difference

Answer 2

Ionic bonding results from the electrostatic attraction of oppositely charged ions. Covalent bonding results because of the attraction of two atomic nuclei for a pair of electrons which is then "shared" between the two atoms.

Answer 3

Ionic bonding is when two charged ions (one positive and one negative ie a cation and an anion) form a crystal lattice. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_lattice). Ionic bonds dissolve in water.

Covalent bonds involve sharing of an electron. An example of this would be the carbons in glucose (C6H12O6).

Here is the ionic vs. covalent in wikipedia: In an ionic bond, the atoms are bound by attraction of opposite ions, whereas, in a covalent bond, atoms are bound by sharing electrons. In covalent bonding, the molecular geometry around each atom is determined by VSEPR rules, whereas, in ionic materials, the geometry follows maximum packing rules.

Answer 4

there are 4 types of intermolecular forces / bonding

London Dispersion forces ex. CH3 , C2H6, C3H8, C6H6 etc.
Dipole-Dipole C-Br, C-F, N-O, etc
H Bonding H-O, H-N, H-F
Ion dipole Na+Cl-, K+Br-, Mg+2 O-2, etc

the order goes from LDF bonds being the weakest, least polar intermolecular force/ bonding patern to the ion diopole force being the strongest one SO strong that one element complete steals an e- from the other one. Also, the boiling point follows this trend as well.
