Covalent bonding : sharing of electrons; simple molecular structure has low melting and boiling point and bonded with either weak vaan der waals force (co2)or induced dipole induce dipole (I2) giant molecular structures have high mp n bp (sio2, diamond, graphite); cannot conduct electricity except graphite in which one electron is free to carry current.Can anyone plz explain me in detail about the differences b/w
1. covalent bonding
2. ionic bonding
3.hydrogen bonding ( and how and why hydrogen bonds are formed) ?
Help will be appreciated.
Ionic bonding: transfer of electrons; all have high mp n bp; can conduct wlectricity in molten state.
Hydrogen bonding : when hydrogen is bonded with very highly electronegative element like F,N,O
