Based on your understanding of how bond types influence a material’s properties, identify each of the following compounds as being made of ionic, covalent, or metallic bonds. Steel:
Propane:
Calcium chloride:
Water:

Steel:   metallic

Propane:  covalent

Calcium chloride:   ionic

Water: covalent

Explanation:

hope this

explanation:

covalent bonds

consist of pairs of electrons shared by two atoms, and bind the atoms to fixed orientation and requre high energies to break them

ionic bonds

when two atoms differ considerably in their electronegativity, then one of the atoms will lose its electron to the other atom. this results in a positively charged ion(cation) and a negatively charged ion (anion)
