Expert Solution

Step 1

Molecular compound:

The molecular compounds are formed by covalent bonding. The covalent bond is formed by the sharing of the electrons between the atoms of almost equal electronegativity.

Ionic compound:

The ionic compounds are formed by the ions. The ions are formed by the exchange of electrons between the atoms of different electronegativity. Metal atoms donate the electrons to form cation and nonmetal atoms accept the electrons to form the anion.
