What is the significance of covalent versus ionic bonding? Answer concisely in 2-3 sentences.
93 chars

Generation

Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, creating strong directional bonds that form discrete molecules with lower melting points. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, creating charged ions that arrange in crystal lattices with higher melting points and conduct electricity when dissolved or molten. The bonding type determines fundamental properties like solubility, conductivity, hardness, and reactivity.
