How can bonding determine the properties of a compound

Bonds may be covalent ( sharing electrons between atoms ) or ionic (transfer of electrons between atoms )each of these bondings have different propertiesif u know which bond is present in an element u can easily determine properties it has

example : ammonia gas ( NH3 ) is covalent and therefore has low melting and boiling points.

sodium chloride NaCl is ionic and therefore has higher melting and boiling points

HOPE IT HELPS !!!
