Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The classification of bonding in different compounds is to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

The sharing of electrons between atoms results in the formation of a covalent bond.

The bond formed between two nonmetals is a covalent bond.

In an ionic bond, there is a complete transfer of one or more electrons from one element to another. Generally, such type of bonding is observed between a metal and a nonmetal.

A cation is positively charged and an anion is negatively charged.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

When a metal and a non-metal are present in the formula, then ionic bond is formed. In ionic bonding, electrons are completely transferred from metal to non-metal. Ionic bond is formed when there is a noticeable difference in the electronegativity difference between the two elements.

When two non-metals form a compound, the bond is a covalent bond. In covalent bonding, molecules are formed by the sharing of electrons. The covalent bond is formed when there is a negligible difference in the electronegativity difference between the two elements.

Conclusion

If a compound is formed by the combination of metal and non-metal, then the bonding is ionic and if the compound is formed by the combination of two non-metals, then the bonding is covalent.
