In this episode, Dr Sunayana Bhargava and Tulela Pea explore the properties of giant covalent structures including diamond, graphite and polymers such as polythene. Suitable for: AQA, Edexcel, OCR.

Covalent Bond: They are formed by sharing of electrons and have low melting and boiling point. These are soluble in organic solvents and are non-conductor of electricity. However graphite and diamond ...

The properties of elements and compounds can be explained by considering the different types of bonding present inside the molecules. All ionic compounds have a high melting point and boiling point.

There are three types of bonds in chemistry: ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. In this article, we will look at the differences between ionic and covalent bonds. Chemical bonding is the force of ...
