Compare and contrast covalent and ionic compounds.

Ionic compounds:
•Have molecules that consists of charged ions and these ions have positive and negative charges.
• ionic compounds are formed by electrical attraction of two of more ions
• ionic compounds have a high melting & boiling points
• the bonds of ionic compounds are crystal like
• can conduct electricity in water
Covalent compounds:
• they are non metals bound together & consist of two electrons shared between two atoms
• formed when two non metals bound together
• they have lower melting and boiling point
• they easily separate because they are formed from distinct molecules that don’t bond together
• covalent compounds are softer and more flexible
• covalent compounds cannot conduct electricity under water because they are non polar

The scientific method is a series of steps followed by scientific investigators to answer specific questions about the natural world. it involves making observations, formulating a hypothesis, and conducting scientific experiments.the steps of the scientific method are •observation-the first step of the scientific method involves making an observation about something that interests you•question-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •hypothesis-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •experiment-once you've developed a hypothesis, you must design and conduct an experiment that will test it.•results-the results are where you report what happened in the experiment. •conclusion-the final step of the scientific method is developing a conclusion.i hope that this you : )
