Properties of Ionic and Covalent

Compounds

IV
Compounds are formed between the chemical
combinations of two or more
elements.
The Ionic Compounds

 Ionic compounds are formed between a

metal and a nonmetal.
 The chemical combination between the two
types of elements results in the formation of
ionic bonds between the atoms.
 Ionic bonds are the electrostatic force of
attraction that holds cations (positively
charged atom) and anions (negatively
charged atoms) together.
The Covalent Compounds

 Covalent compounds are substances that

are formed from the chemical combination of
two or more nonmetallic elements.
 It could be between a nonmetal and another
nonmetal, or a metalloid and a nonmetal.
Identify which of the following compounds is
ionic and covalent based on the types of
elements combined.
