1.What is a covalent bond? a covalent bond is the bond formed by the sharing of a pair of electrons by two atoms.

2.What is an ionic bond? a ionic bond is the electrostatic bond between two ions formed through the transfer of one or more electrons.

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. Type in the content of your page here.
 * in an ionic bond the the atoms are bound together by the attraction between oppositely charged ions, in a covalent bond the atoms are bound by shared electrons.
 * in an ionic bond there is a complete transference of electrons while in a covalent there is a sharing of electrons.
 * ionic bonds are normally associated with inorganic compounds while covalents are usually associated with organic compounds.
 * ionic compounds have high melting points covalent bonds have low.
 * covalents occur during two nonmetals ionic occur during one metal and one nonmetal

1. The formula is FeCl3, so the name is Iron ( III ) Chloride. Because iron is a metal it is an Ionic compound. Therefore, there are no prefixes are added to the names. So I named the ions iron and chloride. Since iron is a transition metal i figured out the roman numeral.

2. The formula is HClO, so the name is hypochlorous acid. Because the formula starts with hydrogen it is an acid. Therefore there are no roman numerals needed. To get the name of this acid i used rule number 3 which states that when the name of the anion ends in -ite, the acid name has the suffix -ous, and is followed by the word acid.

3. The name is hydrobromic acid, so the formula is HBr. Because the name has hydro-, and -ic i used rule number one. Rule number one says that since Br ends in -ide and it's a negative one the formula is Hbr.
