1.The common properties of ionic compounds are that they are hard, have a high melting/boiling point and no conductivity except when dissolved.
2.The common properties of covalent compounds are that they are soft and some brittle, low melting/boiling points, some dissolve and some don't and don't conduct electricity.
3. Ionic compounds are between metals and non-metals. During this form of bonding the valence electrons are taken from the metals to form a stable octet for both metal and non-metal.
4. Covalent compounds are between non-metals and non-metals who share electrons to form a stable octet neither strong enough to pull the valance electrons away from each other.
5.No matter what, broken up or in a compound, the covalent bonds lack any charge because technically they're not losing or gaining any electrons(because they are both nonmetals) so they do not have a charge.
6.When ionic bonds are broken in a solution it contains ions which gives them an electrical charge but when you compare it to a solid, it's the complete opposite. then the elements still have charges because one element had to lose electrons and one had to gain giving the individual particles a charge, making them conduct electricity
Enrichment:
Electrolytes means that an ion is electrically charged. Electrolytes is used to maintain voltages across the cell through cell membrane to other cells leading to messages towards the brain and muscles.You loose electrolytes in your sweat, in order to maintain this energy you can replaced these lost electrolytes through drinks like Gatorade. Sugar is also used for extra energy but is mostly used to make the drinks taste better.The electrolyte substance usually used by your body is potassium and sodium you must replace these electrolytes in order to keep you body constant.
