 * 1) What is a covalent bond? A covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, and other covalent bonds. In short, the attraction-to-repulsion stability that forms between atoms when they share electrons is known as covalent bonding. Source: []
 * 2) What is an ionic bond? An ionic bond (or electrovalent bond) is a type of chemical bond based on electrostatic forces between two oppositely-charged ions. Source: []
 * 3) List 5 differences between ionic and covalent compounds (Ex. high or low boiling and melting points, sharing or transferring electrons, etc.). Source: []
 * 4) Covalent has a low boiling point and Ionic has a high boiling point.
 * 5) Covalent bonds occur between 2 non metals and Ionic bonds occur between a metal and a non metal.
 * 6) Covalent bonds are liquis or gases and Ionic bonds are solids at room tempurature.
 * 7) Covalent bonds have a definate shape and Ionic bonds do not have a definate shape of their molecules.
 * 8) Ionic bond atoms bond together by the attraction between oppositely-charged ions. Covalent bond elctrons share equally between atoms.
 * 9) Find 5 Lewis Structures and copy and paste them on your page. Determine their molecular geometry.

Fe(OH)3- Iron(III) Hydroxide


 * This compound is ionic because it has a metal and a nonmetal. Hydroxide has a negative one charge and there are three hydroxide atoms so the charge is negative three. Iron is a transition metal and it needs roman numerals to indicate it's charge.

Phosphoric Acid- H3PO4
 * The compound is an acid because it has hydrogen first. To get the formula i used rule #3. Rule #3- When the anion ion name ends in -ate the acid name is the stem of the anion with the suffix -ic followed by the word acid.

HNO2- Nitrous Acid
 * The compound is an acid. To get the formula is used rule #2. Rule #2- When an ion ends in -ite the acid name is the stem of the anion with the suffix -ous followed by the word acid.
