1. Sugar: covalent because the atoms share electrons
2. Wood: covalent because the atoms share electrons
3. Water: covalent because the atoms share electrons
4. Aluminum: metallic because its a metal
5. Iron: metallic because its a metal

1. water- covalent, molecules are shared, bent molecule
2. silver- metallic, its a metal and has a shiny look to it
3. diamonds- ionic, they form a crystaline structure
4. sugar- ionic, they have crystaline structures
5. gold- metallic, its shiny and it's a metal

1. sugar-ionic-atoms share electrons, form crystaline strutures
2. water-covalent-atoms share electrons, bent molecule
3. wood-covalent-atoms share electrons
4. aluminum-metallic-metal,shiny
5. copper-metallic-metal,shiny
