Real-Life Uses of Different Types of Chemical Bonds

1. Ionic Bonds:

   • You can find ionic bonds in table salt, which is really important for our health.
   • Did you know that over 90% of the Earth's crust is made up of ionic compounds?

2. Covalent Bonds:

   • Covalent bonds are found in water, which is vital for life. In fact, about 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water!
   • Organic compounds, which have covalent bonds, make up more than 95% of the ingredients used in medicines.

3. Metallic Bonds:

   • Metallic bonds are in metals like copper, which is great for electrical wiring because it conducts electricity well.
   • The strong metallic bonds in metals give them strength. For example, steel has a strength rating of about 400 MPa!
