QUESTIONS a. The results shown above will indicate the type of bonds in the substances listed. Use your knowledge of the properties of ionic and covalent bonds to explain the results above. You must explain the difference in the substances that do not conduct the one that does. b. Why is t that salt water conducts electricity, but solid salt does not? 9. Why is the bond between carbon and oxygen C-O more polar than the bond between fluorine and oxygen F-0? Show work and justify your answer for credit by comparing both bonds

Expert Solution
Step 1

There are two type bonds 

1. Ionic bond. It is formed by total transference of electrons. Ionic compounds when dissociates into its ions in aqueous solution conduct electricity. 

2. Covalent bond. It is formed by sharing of electrons.
