If you have two atoms, and both have one positive and negative electrons, a covalent bond will turn into a molecule by sharing the two negative ions. If you have two atoms with the same criteria, a ionic bond will transfer one of the negative electrons to the other atom, making one negatively charged atom and one positively charged atom. So, the main difference between covalent and ionic bonds is that covalent bond share, ionic bonds transfer

Compare the mineral halite (NaCl, hardness of 2.5) to diamond which is pure carbon chemically bonded to itself in a network. Are the mineral's chemical bonds covalent, polar covalent, or ionic? Which mineral is harder?

On Mohs scale, isn't diamond assigned a $10$ on the basis of hardness? Halite is almost a purely ionic material.

Why are ionic bonds stronger than covalent bonds?

Ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds due to following reasons - Ionic bonds result from the mutual attraction between oppositely charged ions while a Covalent Bond is a...

Can I predict if a compound has ionic bonds or covalent bonds? If so, how?

Bonds formed between non-metals are generally covalent bonds. Ionic bonds can ONLY be formed with a cation and an anion. Generally, these ions come from a metal (cation) and...

Why are ionic bonds and covalent bonds different?

Well, the one is a non-directional bond that derives from the interaction of like and unlike charged particles. And t'other is a strongly directional bond that results from the sharing...

How do ionic bonds differ from covalent bonds?

Chemical bonds are formed by the sharing of electron densities between two atoms. The electron density of the atoms is held between the two atoms and attracted to the positive...

Consider the following element combinations. Classify the bonds formed between each pair as ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent qualitatively based solely on each element's position on the periodic table? Do not conduct calculations.

Something worth knowing about deciding between nonpolar and polar is that only two of the same element can form an ideally nonpolar bond. With this in mind, the $"Br"-"Br"$...

The electronegativity is 2.1 for H and 1.8 for Si. Based on these electronegativities, $SiH_4$ would be expected ?A) be ionic and contain H+ ions (B) be ionic and contain H- ions (C) have polar covalent bonds with a partial negative charges on the H atoms

The answer is (C) have polar covalent bonds with a partial negative charge on the hydrogen atoms. If you only go by the options given, the answer will be obvious...

How are these ordered from strongest to weakest: hydrogen bonds,covalent bonds, ionic bonds, and van der waals interactions?

This is the conventional order. Ionic bonds are of course non-molecular interactions.

Are network covalent bonds STRONGER than ionic bonds?

Both network covalent solids, and ionic solids ARE non-molecular, and are therefore expected to have elevated melting points with respect to molecular species. Let's compare the melting points of $NaCl$...
