Ionic bonds form between two fully charged particles, where one atom transfers electrons to another to achieve a stable octet of valence electrons. Covalent bonds form when two atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration without complete transfer.

No, a suspension is not a pure substance. It is a mixture of particles dispersed in a liquid, where the particles are not fully dissolved and can be seen with the naked eye.
A mixture in which particles are suspended in a solution is called a suspension. Suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures, where the particles are not fully dissolved and can settle out over time.
The particles of a suspension are dissolved into the solvent.
The particles of the dissolving substance spread out evenly throughout the liquid, dispersing and becoming fully mixed in the solution. This process is driven by the kinetic energy of the particles.
To determine if boric acid has fully dissolved in a solution, you can visually check if there are no visible particles remaining in the solution. You can also use a pH test strip to see if the solution has reached the expected pH level for a fully dissolved boric acid solution.
