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. H3P : Hydrophosphoric acid. This uses rule one, "When the name of the anion ends in -ide, the acid name beings with the prefix hydro-, has the suffix -ic and is followed by the word acid. i know that P is phosphorus, i needed to change the ending into -ic to make it able to be used in the formula name. Since Hyrdo is used as the prefix of the formula name, H3P is Hyrdrosphoric acid.

2. Hydrophosphoric acid : H3P. Using the same rule as i did in the first one, i know that Hydrophosphoric acid's formula is H3P

3. Dicarbon Hexahydride : I know that 'Di' means two and 'Hexa' means six. Using that information, i know the formula would be C2H6. The 'Di' is replaced by '2' and the 'Hexa' is replace by '6'. 'C' stands for Carbon and 'H' stands for hydrogen.
 * - Very nicely put.**
