Formation of ionic bond between Na and Cl and covalent bond in water is to be demonstrated. Concept introduction: An ionic bond is formed by electrostatic interaction between two oppositely charged ions. Ions are formed by transfer of one more electrons from one atom to another. The atom that looses electron gains positive charge is called as cation and the atom that gains electron gets negative charge is called as anion. Ionic bond is the electrostatic interaction between a cation and an anion. Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons to gain stability instead of transferring. Covalent bonds are generally formed between atoms with small or no difference in electronegativity.

A chemist is testing for lead content in water samples taken downstream from a battery manufacturing plant. Health Canada suggests that drinking water should have a maximum lead content of 0.010 mg/L of water. If a test reveals that a 1 L water sample contains 3.1 × 1017 atoms of lead, is the water safe to drink? Explain.
A 15-g sample of lithium is reacted with 15 g of fluorine to form lithium fluoride: 2Li + F2 → 2LiF. After the reaction is complete, what will be present?
