PLEASE I NEED HELP If water doesn’t contain ions because electrons are shared, are water molecules as attracted to each other as NaCl formula units?
If water molecules aren’t as attracted to each other as NaCl units, does that make it easier or harder to separate molecules?
How does this difference at the microscopic scale (due to bonding) help us explain why NaCl is a solid at room temperature, but H2O is a liquid?

Write an argument (a well thought out CER) for you initial post explaining how bonding affects the physical properties of salt and water. You may use the questions above to help get you started and layout ideas for your argument.

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)

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".

the cold front replaces the warmer air at the ground level changing the wind to be breezy and denser.there is also an immediate drop in the temperature.
