Question Number Three!
The three types of bonds are ionic, covalent, and metallic.
Ionic Bonds
In this bond when and atom recieves or gives a valence electron. Ionic bonds have very high melting and boiling points, they conduct electricity, have crystals and dissolve in water. One of the atoms is a metal and one is a non-metal.
some examples are NaCl,MgO,and KBr.
Covalent Bonds
In this bond a pair of electrons are shared.Lewis Dot Stucture is used with this bond. Covalent bonds don't conduct electricity, have a low boiling and melting point. They are neutral in charge. They are hard. They don't disolve in water. Examples of covalent bonds are HCl, H2O
Metallic Bonds
In this type of bond they share free electrons. Not all metals can be used in metallic bonding. This bond holds stuff together. Most of the time this occurs in the outermost ring. Metallic bonds highly conduct electricity. They also conduct heat. They can be made into thin wires(ductile). It is very strong and hard. Examples of metallic bonds are copper,zinc and iron
