Explanation / Answer

Ionic copound : Bonds are formed between cations and anion which are held together by stron electrostatic force of attraction called ionic bond. This bond is very strong, therefore it requires large amount of heat to break down. It has high melting and boiling point. Since, the bonds are foremed between cation and anion by transfer and gain of electron. Cation are the metals because of its low ionization energy that can loose electron to non metal. Non metal gain electron to form anion. Since, the ions are held by strong inter ionic force they form crystalline structure and are generally solid.

1. most bonds are ionic

2. Tends to contain metals

3. Tends to have high boiling point

Organic compound : They are formed by sharing of electron between non metals to form a covalent bond. These bonds are less strong then ionic bonds they are therefore mostly in liquid and gaseous form. Since, they are formed by sharing of electron, if the bonds are formed between same non metal then it is non polar. If the covalent bond is fformed between different atom such that there is an electronegativity difference between the two , then the compound has the polarity. Mostly organic compounds are insoluble in water. Sincs, like dissolves like. Mostly organic compounds are non polar and tends to dissolve in non polar solvent and are mostly insoluble in water. Only polar compounds dissolve in polar solvents like water. Mostly organic compound contains carbon.

1. Mostly gases or liquids

2. tends to be non polar

3. mostly insoluble in water

4. all contains carbon
