Ionic compounds covalent compound distinguished from

Compare and contrast the ability of water to dissolve ionic and covalent compounds. Distinguish solutions from colloids. Compare and contrast colligative properties. 

Explain the essential features of ionic and covalent compounds and distinguish between them predict the monatomic ion formed from a main-group element ( 2.7) (SP 2.6) (EPs 2.45-2.57)... 

One way to distinguish between ionic and covalent character of the bonding in a compound is to examine the decomposed DOS. If the bonding is strongly covalent, the states from different atoms are strongly mixed and one would expect the decomposed DOS to be very similar on all sites. If the bonding is primarily ionic the decomposed DOS would be very dissimilar on sites with different atoms. To deduce the amount of hybridization in the DOS we decomposed the DOS into site contributions.

The ability to name compounds and determine the chemical formula for a compound comes from the ability to distinguish between ionic and covalent compounds. The name of a compound depends heavily on the type of bond present between the atoms. Besides being able to identify certain types of bonds, when learning to name compounds it is best to remember the rules that apply to the type of bond in question. The rules for naming four common kinds of compounds are outlined below. 

Several properties distinguish ionic compounds from covalent compounds. These may be related rather simply to the crystal structure of ionic compounds, namely, a lattice composed of positive and negative ions in such a way that the attractive forces between oppositely charged ions are maximized and the repulsive forces between ions of the same charge are minimized. Before discussing some of the possible geometries, a few simple properties of ionic compounds may be mentioned ... 

Describe some characteristics of an ionic compound such as KF that would distinguish it from a covalent compound such as benzene (CgHg). 

Ceramics are usually associated with mixed bonding—a combination of covalent, ionic, and sometimes metallic. They consist of arrays of interconnected atoms there are no discrete molecules. This characteristic distinguishes ceramics from molecular solids such as iodine crystals (composed of discrete h molecules) and paraffin wax (composed of long-chain alkane molecules). It also excludes ice, which is composed of discrete H2O molecules and often behaves just like many ceramics. The majority of ceramics are compounds of metals or metalloids and nonmetals. Most frequently they are oxides, nitrides, and carbides. However, we also classify diamond and graphite as ceramics. These forms of carbon are inorganic in the most basic meaning of the term they were...
