This document compares the properties of ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. Ionic bonds have high melting and boiling points due to strong electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged ions. They are solids, conduct electricity when molten or dissolved, and are soluble in water due to their ionic nature. Covalent bonds form molecules with shared electron pairs and are typically solids with low melting points due to weak attractions. Metallic bonds form crystalline structures with free-flowing valence electrons and are typically solids with high melting points and conduct heat and electricity well in their solid and liquid states.
