Steel is a metallic bond

Propane is a covalent bond

Calcium Chloride is an Ionic Bond

Water is a covalent bond

Explanation:

ence a material's properties, identify each of the , ionic, covalent, or metallic bonds

Ionic Bonds are where the extra outer electron of one atom transfers to the other atom.

Covalent Bonds are where the outer electron of one atom takes the open path to the nucleus (negative valance) of a 2nd atom.

Metallic Bonds are formed from the attraction between free electrons and fixed positively charged metallic atoms. Metallic bonds extend over the entire molecular structure.

Substance                  Properties

Steel                           Conducts electricity as solid and liquid

Propane                      Low melting point

Calcium Chloride       Conducts electricity when dissolved in water

Water                          Solid form is brittle, melts at 0C

Steel is an alloy of carbon, iron and other things

Propane = C3H8 C4- H+

Calcium Chloride  = CaCl2 = Ca2+ Cl-

Water = H2O = OH- and H+

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
