Can you help me with the explanation of the binary covalent (molecular) compound, ionic compound and all these terms give me examples too?
Introduction
Chemical bonding is the process of forming bonds between two atoms or molecules in order to create a more stable chemical compound. This process involves the sharing or transferring of electrons between two atoms or molecules, conferring a chemical property known as polarity.
In a covalent bond, the two atoms involved in the bond share electrons in a non-polar manner. A polar covalent bond occurs when the electrons are shared unequally between the atoms, creating a partial positive charge on one atom and a partial negative charge on the other.
An ionic bond is typically created between a metal and a non-metal, causing the metal atom to become positively charged and the non-metal atom to become negatively charged by the complete transfer of electrons.
