Which statement correctly differentiates between ionic and covalent bonds?
Which statement correctly differentiates between ionic and covalent bonds?
- Ionic bonds create compounds that are not soluble in water; covalent bonds create molecules that are soluble in water.
- Ionic bonds involve atoms with differing charges; covalent bonds involve atoms sharing electrons. (correct)
- Ionic bonds form between similar elements; covalent bonds form between different elements.
- Ionic bonds involve atoms with partial charges; covalent bonds involve atoms with full positive and negative charges.

Flashcards
Covalent bond
Covalent bond
A type of chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons, leading to a strong and stable connection. This sharing can be equal or unequal based on the electronegativity of the atoms involved.
Hydrogen bond
Hydrogen bond
A weak bond that occurs between a partially positive hydrogen atom and a partially negative atom, like oxygen or nitrogen. This is crucial for many biological processes.
Ionic bond
Ionic bond
Occurs when one atom completely loses an electron, becoming positively charged (cation), and another gains the electron, becoming negatively charged (anion). These opposite charges then attract each other, resulting in a bond.

Study Notes
Types of Chemical Bonds
- Covalent bonds: Atoms share electrons to form bonds. This is how hydrogen and oxygen atoms form hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂).
- Hydrogen bonds: Bonds form between individual water molecules due to the orientation of water molecules.
- Ionic bonds: Oppositely charged atoms (ions) attract each other to form bonds. Calcium (Ca²⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻) ions bond ionically.
- Peptide bonds: These bonds form proteins. They are not relevant to the examples in the questions.
Distinguishing Ionic and Covalent Bonds
- Ionic bonds form between atoms with opposing charges—one positively charged and one negatively charged
- Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons.
Water Molecules and Bonds
- Within a single water molecule, hydrogen and oxygen atoms are held together by polar covalent bonds.
- Hydrogen bonds form between different water molecules due to the polarity of the water molecules.
Ionic Bonding Examples
- Calcium (Ca²⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻) ions form ionic bonds.
- Lithium (Li⁺) can also participate in ionic bonding.
Hydrogen Bonds
- Hydrogen bonds are individually weak bonds, but collectively they are significant in the structure and function of water.
