Taking NaCI as an example of an ionic compound and CCI₄ as an example of a molecular compound, give two differences between ionic and molecular compounds.

Solution

Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons while molecular compounds are formed by sharing of electrons.
For example- In NaCl, Na transferred one electron to Cl and In CCl_4,C and Cl shared their electron.
Types of bonds that exist in molecular compounds are covalent bonds while in Ionic compounds, they have ionic bonds.
NaCl- There is an ionic bond between Na and Cl but In CCl₄, there is a covalent bond present between C and Cl.
