Q

What are the conditions for dative covelat bond formation?

A
  • Donating atom must have a lone pair of
    electrons
  • Accepting atom should have a vacant
    orbital to accept the electron pair donated by the donor

(Note: There are many counterexamples but most compounds obey these rules)

39
Q

Compare melting and boiling points of covelant and ionic compound

A

Covelant - Depends on size and intermolecular bonding
Ionic - High

(Note: There are many counterexamples but most compounds obey these rules)

40
Q

Compare conductivity of covelant and ionic compounds

A

Covelant - Often poor. Depends on size and delocalisation of electrons
