What are Ionic and Covalent bonds? Ionic bonds: If one atom gains and the other loses the electron. ( metal to a nonmetal) The outcome of the transfer of electrons between two not similar atoms. Covalent bonds: If atoms share the electrons. ( nonmetals or metalloids )
Some compounds that I found in my house that are Ionic are: NaOH - sodium hydroxide - found in some surface cleaners as well as oven and drain cleaners - Detergent (because Na is a metal and O and H are nonmetals); CaCO3 - calcium carbonate - found in calcium supplements - chalk, limestone, marble, and calcite, (because Ca is a metal. and C and O are nonmetals)
Some compounds that I found in my house that are covalent are: CH3COOH) - vinegar - glacial acetic acid- food, cooking - (because C is a nonmetal H is a nonmetal and O is a nonmetal, similar bonding); C4H10 - Butane, is found in cigarette lighters (because C is a nonmetal, H is a nonmetal, and O is a nonmetal)
