__​ What is a covalent bond? __ A covalent bond is where 2 atomic orbitals overlap to form a molecular bonding and anti-bonding orbital, which allows electrons from each atom to lower their energy with respect to their original atomic orbitals.

__What is an ionic bond?__ //An ionic bond is a type of// [|//chemical bond//] //that involves a// [|//metal//] //and a// [|//nonmetal//] [|//ion//] //(or// [|//polyatomic ions//] //such as// [|//ammonium//]//) through// [|//electrostatic//] //attraction. In short, it is a bond formed by the attraction between two oppositely charged ions.// __ List 5 differences between ionic and covalent compounds? __ > > > > > > Chemistry book > [] > [] > []
 * 1) In an ionic bond, the atoms are bound together by the attraction between oppositely-charged ions.In a covalent bond, the atoms are bound by shared electrons.
 * 2) Covalent compounds tend to have lower melting point than ionic compounds.
 * 3) Ionic compounds tend to have high boiling points than Covalent compounds.
 * 4) The main difference between Ionic and Covalent bonds is that Ionic bonds are between a Metal and Non-Metal while a Covalent bond is between 2 or more non-metals.
 * 5) At room temprature covalent bonds are usually gas or liquid ionic bonds are usually solids.

Since it is ionic you dont need suffixs or prefixes. So which simplifies down to a (-1) chromium oxalate for oxlate and (+3) for Cr. Then i switched numbers and got Cr (C2O4)3. I didnt have to put the one in by Cr because its implied.b
 * Given**- chromium (VI) oxalate This compound is Ionic because it has Chromium in it which is a metal.
 * Formula-** Cr (C2O4)3 I used the charges (+6) for Cr and (-2) for oxalate

vg
 * Given**- tetranitrogen heptoxide This compound is Covalent. I know this because It does not have a metal
 * Formula-** N4 O7 and because there are prefixs used. They are Tetra- and Hept- which mean 4 and 7.

Sulfate turns into sulfuric.
 * Given**- Sulfuric acid This compound is a acid. I no this because it does not have a prefix
 * Formula-** H2SO4 also it doe snot have a metal. I got the formula by using Rule 3. Which states




 * Given**- H2S This compound is a acid i know this because it has hydrogen in it . Also i got the name by using the
 * Name-** hydrosulfuric acid second rule. Which makes anything that ends with a -ide begin with hydro- and end with -ic followed by acid.
