CHEMICAL BONDING

ANALYSING PROPERTIES OF
IONIC AND COVALENT
COMPOUND

PROPERTIES IONIC
COMPOUND
MELTING POINT &
BOILING POINT
DISSOLVING
ELECTRICAL CON
DUCTIVITY
STRUCTURE OF NaCl

MELTING AND
BOILING POINT
Melting point and
boiling point
in ionic compound
are very high
Example: NaCl
Melting point: 8010c
Boiling point: 14130c

DISOLVING
Ionic compound
can be
dissolved in
water but
cannot dissolve
in organic
solvent like
ester and
benzene

ELECTRICAL
CONDUCTIVITY
- In ionic compound
(aques and melt) can
conduct electric.

- It is because in
solid dont have free
move ion

PROPERTIES COVALENT
COMPOUND
MELTING POINT &
BOILING POINT
DISSOLVING
ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY

STRUCTURE OF AMMONIA

MELTING POINT & BOILING POINT

Melting point and
boiling point
in covalent
compound
are very low
Example: H2O
Melting point: 00C
Boiling point: 1000C

DISSOLVING
Ionic compound
cannot
dissolved in
water but
dissolve in
organic solvent
like propane
and methanol

ELECTRICAL
CONDUCTIVITY
- Covalent compound
cannot conduct
electric.
- It is because ion
or electron cannot
move free.

Differences In The
Electrical Conductivity Of
Ionic And Covalent
Compound

Electrical Conductivity

Covalent compound
Ionic compound
Covalent compound dont

move free (dont have
electrical conductivity)

But in melt the ions

move free and have
electrical conductivity

It because the
compound build from
covalent molecule and
dont have ions or
electron move free.
