Covalent Ionic• Two or more elements share an electron.
• It can be in a liquid or solid form
• Anything can bond covalently.
• Usually no electrical conductivity.
• Usually lower melting points than ionic bonds.
• Usually higher melting points than covalent bonds
• Strong bonds.
• Only formed with group 7 because they have a very high electro-negativity.
• Usually a solid unless in liquid form.
• A molecule losses an electron and gives it to another molecule.
• No definite shape• Definite shape
• Hold atoms together to form bonds.
• Both follow octet
rule. *
*The octet rule is the statement that when atoms combine to form molecules they generally each lose, gain, or share valence electrons until they attain or share eight. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/octet+rule
