Compounds

Compounds are formed from basic substances by chemical reaction. It is the reaction between atoms from the same element or between atoms of different elements that leads to the formation of compounds.

The distinction between ionic compounds and covalent compounds is In ionic bond the atoms are bound together by the fascination between inverse charged particles. For example, sodium and chloride form an ionic bond, to make NaCl, or table salt(Na is alkali metal and Cl is a halogen nonmetal. In a covalent bond, the molecules are bound by shared electrons. On the off chance that the electron is shared just as between the iotas framing a covalent bond, then the bond is said to be nonpolar. For example, the atoms in water, H2O, are held together by polar covalent bonds.

Examples of covalent compounds:

 

Glass is a covalent compound (SiO2) because the primary element of glass is silicon dioxide, SiO2. It forms a network solid, so the bonds are covalent. Glass is used to to make bottles, jars, cups,etc. 

Sugar is covalent compound (C12H22O11) because you can see that sugar is produced using nonmetals component and we realizes that covalent bond is structures between nonmetals. We use sugar in our everyday life in food.

Examples of ionic compounds:

 

Soap is an ionic compound (C₁₇H₃₅COONa) since it is made out of sodium hydroxide. We use soap in our everyday life to wash our hands. 

Baking Soda is an ionic compound ( NaHCO3) Since sodium is greatly receptive it will just show up as a cation. The bicarbonate particle is anionic. joined they are a salt otherwise known as ionic compound.
