Which elements do ionic bonds occur in?
Between metals and non-metals
Which elements do covalent bonds occur in the most?
Between nonmetals and nonmetals
What compounds do ionic bonds typically form?
Salts
What structure is formed from ionic bonds?
Crystal lattice
What are some properties of ionic compounds?
Crystalline at room temperature, hard but brittle, high melting and boiling points, water-soluble, conduct electricity
What are the properties of covalent bonds?
Liquid/gas at room temp, low melting points, don’t conduct electricity, insoluble in water
How are ionic compounds named?
The metal always comes first, and the nonmetal is given the suffix “-ide.”
How are covalent compounds named?
The nonmetal with the lower atomic number comes first, and -ide is used as the second nonmetal’s suffix; greek prefixes are used to denote number (but mono isn’t used for the first nonmetal).
