Ionic vs. Covalent Bonding Explained

Ionic bonding occurs between a metal and non-metal and involves the transfer of electrons. Metallic bonding occurs between two metals. Covalent bonding occurs between two non-metals and involves the sharing of electrons. Ionic compounds form crystal lattices and conduct electricity when melted or dissolved, while covalent compounds exist as distinct molecules and do not conduct electricity.

Noble gases don’t bond!
In nature, matter takes
many forms.
The noble gases,
including helium and
neon, are
monatomic
(means they exist
as single atoms).
ionic vs. covalent
Ionic compounds transfer electrons to form
ions, which are held together by their opposite
charges.

A molecule is a neutral group of
atoms joined together by covalent
bonds. Air contains oxygen molecules.
A diatomic molecule contains two
atoms. An oxygen molecule is a diatomic
molecule.
Using covalent
bonds, atoms can
be arranged in
different ways to
make an unlimited
variety of
molecules.
A compound composed of molecules is
called a molecular compound. Water and
carbon monoxide are molecular compounds.

Covalent bonding makes molecules


Molecular compounds tend to
have relatively lower melting
and boiling points than ionic
compounds.
They can be gases, liquids, or
solids at room temperature.
A molecular formula is the chemical
formula of a molecular compound.

A molecular formula
shows how many atoms of
each element a molecule
contains.
Ethane, a component of natural gas, is
a molecular compound. C2H6

Each ethane molecule contains


two carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms

A bond can be an
ionic bond or covalent bond…

…or somewhere in between.


Let’s focus on the two extreme cases of a
completely ionic bond and a
completely covalent bond.

Then we will learn about the bonds that


are somewhere in between these two.
