    Study Notes

    Understanding Ionic and Covalent Compounds

    • Ionic compounds break into charged particles when mixed with water
    • Covalent molecules do not conduct electricity when dissolved in water and often do not dissolve in water
    • Salt (sodium chloride) on potato chips is an ionic compound
    • Sugar (sucrose) is a covalent molecule made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms
    • A pure substance is made up of only one compound or element, while a mixture has two or more compounds and/or elements that do not form chemical bonds with each other
    • Covalent bonds can be polar or nonpolar depending on the electronegativity difference of the elements involved
    • Polar covalent bonds result from an unequal sharing of electrons, creating a dipole with partial positive and negative charges
    • Nonpolar covalent bonds exist between two nonmetals with little to no difference in electronegativity, leading to fully equal sharing of the electron pair
    • Nonpolar covalent bonds are important in biology, such as in the formation of oxygen and peptide bonds in proteins
    • Polar covalent bonds are soluble in polar solutions and have dipole moments, while nonpolar covalent bonds are soluble in nonpolar solutions and do not have dipole moments
    • The properties of compounds containing polar and nonpolar covalent bonds differ in terms of solubility and affinity for water
    • The degree to which covalent bonds are polar or nonpolar depends on the electronegativity values of the elements involved
