Are ionic bonds formed when atoms share electrons in order to reach a full octet?

No, that's a covalent bond (and it's "octet", by the way). Ionic bonds involve the more or less complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another rather than sharing.That's only an idealized picture, though. In reality, every bond has some fraction of covalent character and some fraction of ionic character, rather than being either equal sharing or complete transfer.

What bonds are formed when atoms exchanged electrons?
ionic bonds!
Is it true that in a covalent bond atoms share electrons?
False
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons and ionic bonds are formed when positive and negative ions bond to form an ionic compound.?
Ionic - electron transfer Covalent - electron share (co - share)
What type of bond is formed when electrons are gained and lost?
Ionic bonds are formed between positively charged atoms (lost electrons) and negatively charged atoms (gained electrons).
How do valence electrons of atoms behave when forming an ionic bond?
Electrons are transferred when ionic bonds are formed.
How do ionic and covalent bonds lead to forming compounds?
Compounds are formed by the combination of atoms with bonds. These bonds are formed by the sharing of valence unpaired electrons of both bonded atoms or by the transfer of electrons . This form covalent or ionic bond and compounds are formed.
How covalent bonds and ionic bonds are formed?
All types of bonds are formed by sharing two electrons between two atoms.
How are covalent and ionic bonds formed?
All types of bonds are formed by sharing two electrons between two atoms.
What kind of bonds are formed when electrons are transfered between atoms?
When electrons are transferred, ionic bond is formed. It is a stronger bond.
What are ions and ionic bonds?
Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. Positively charged cations are formed when atoms lose electrons. Negatively charged anions are formed when atoms gain electrons. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions.
Covalent and ionic bonds differ in that?
covalent bonds are also called molecular bonds since they are formed of the combination of different atoms to form molecules..while ionic bonds are formed of ions of the atoms..an ionic compound contains an anion (negative ion) and a cation (positive). Ionic bonds dont involve the sharing of electrons
What Is formed when electrons are shared by two atoms?
A covalent bond is formed. As opposed to an Ionic bond where electrons are transferred between the two.
