1. What is a covalent bond? 2. What is an ionic bond? 3. List 5 differences between ionic and covalent compounds (Ex. high or low boiling and melting points, sharing or transferring electrons, etc.). 4. Find 5 Lewis Structures and copy and paste them on your page. Determine their molecular geometry.

1. A covalent bond is a bond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms. 2. An ionic bond is a electrostatic attraction thta binds oppositely charged ions together.

3. Ionic bond has a high melting point and high boiling point. It also is able to transfer electrons and it is metal and a nonmetal. A ionic bond is a solid at room temperature and pressure, and makes crystals. A covalent bond has a low melting point and low boiling point. It also shares electrons. Made up of 2 nonmetals, and is a liquid or a gas. Also, is made up of molecules. =====







=
 (given) carbonic acid  (formula) H2CO3 ======
 * Since carbonic acid has hydrogen it automatically is a acid. Carbon and Oxygen are both nonmetals

=
 (given) H2SO3 (name)  Sulfurous Acid ======
 * In the formula H2SO3 there is hydrogen, which makes it an acid. Sulfur and Oxygen are both nonmetals.

=
 (given) tin (II) fluoride (formula)  SnF2 ======
 * [[image:file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/CFF%7E1.EAW/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-11.png]] Tin is a metal and fluorine is a nonmetal
