Core Concept
Compounds are classified based on the types of bonds that hold their atoms together and their resulting structures. Understanding the different types of compounds—such as ionic, covalent, metallic, and network covalent compounds—helps us predict their physical and chemical properties, like melting and boiling points, conductivity, and solubility. Each type of compound has unique characteristics that arise from the nature of the interactions between its constituent particles.
| Type | Composition | Properties | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ionic Compound | Metal + Nonmetal | High melting/boiling points, conductive when molten or dissolved, brittle | NaCl, MgO |
| Covalent Compound | Nonmetals | Low melting/boiling points, generally non-conductive, can be gases, liquids, or solids | CO₂, H₂O |
| Metallic Compound | Metals | Conductive in solid state, malleable, ductile, high melting points | Fe, Cu, alloys |
| Network Covalent | Nonmetals or Metalloids | Very high melting points, hard, non-conductive (except graphite), often brittle | Diamond, SiO₂ |
