CHEMICAL BONDS
Ionic
compound - Chemical compound formed
by transfer of valence electrons from
metal atom to non-metal atom.
Ionic
bond - A strong bond formed when
positive ions and negative ions are
attracted by the electrostatic forces.

Formation of Ionic Bond
The formation of sodium chloride (NaCl)
Sodium atom releases one electron to achieve the stable octet
electron arrangements.
Chlorine atom accepts one electron from the sodium atom to
achieve stable octet electron arrangement.
The ions are held together by a strong electrostatic force between
the oppositely-charged ions.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF IONIC AND
COVALENT COMPOUNDS
Ionic Compound Covalent Compound
High melting and boiling points Low melting and boiling points
-Stronger attraction forces between the -Weak intermolecular forces
ions /van der Waal’s forces between the
-more heat energy required to molecules
overcome the attraction forces - Less heat energy required to
overcome the weak intermolecular
forces
Conduct electricity in molten and Does not conduct electricity
aqueous solution - consists of molecules
- Contains freely moving ions in - do not have freely moving ions.
molten / aqueous state only
Soluble in water but insoluble in Insoluble in water but soluble in
organic solvents organic solvents
