 * ​Questions:
 * 1) What is a covalent bond? A chemical bond formed by the sharing of one or more electrons, especially pairs of electrons, between atoms. wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_a_**covalent**_**bond**
 * 2) What is an ionic bond? Is the same as a covalent bond but between metals. wanttoknowit.com/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.). In covalent, atoms share electrons, but in ionic, one atom gives them to the other. So in an ionic compound, there is a positive ion and a negative ion. They ions can separate when put in water, and then the electricity can pass through. Covalent compounds don't have a positive pole and a negative pole, and they don't ionize in water. Also, the ionic bond is kinda stronger, so usually the compound is solid at room temperature (salt is ionic, oil is covalent). You have to know that there is a third category, a polar molecule (like water).  answers.yahoo.com › [|Science & Mathematics] › [|Chemistry]
 * 4) Find 5 Lewis Structures and copy and paste them on your page. Determine their molecular geometry.

Aluminum has a charge of +3 and Hydroxide is a polyatomic ion and has a charge of -1 so i named them. thar are 2 nitrogens so i put the prefix di- and thar was 5 oxygens so i put the prefix penta-.
 * Aluminum Hydroxide - Al(OH)3
 * N2O5 - Dinitrogen Pentoxide

I used rule #1 that tells me that if it ends in -ied it begins with Hydro-and add -ic at the end. I used rule #1 that tells me that if the anion ends in -ate you tack it away and put in -ic and put the word acid in after that. ** - Good formula, but double check the rule you used. **
 * HI - Hydroiodic Acid
 * Acetic Acid - HC2H3O2
