Ionic bonds are usually thought of as the electrostatic forces of attraction that result from a species "donating" electron(s) to another species, thus resulting in a positively charged ion (cation) and a negatively charged ion (anion). Covalent bonds are thought of as species "sharing" electron(s) with another species, so there's a sharing of electrons and a joining of their electron clouds.
However, most compounds are not purely ionic/covalent; there's almost always a certain degree of ionic character and covalent character in every compound and bond.
Ionic bonds are formed between a metal cation and a non-metal anion. The bond is very strong because of the opposite charged ions. Covalent bonds are formed between two non-metals and are much weaker than ionic bonds.
convalent
No. Ionic bonds have a metal and a non metal. Convalent/molecular bonds contain only nonmetals.
Carbon monoxide is a molecule with covalent bonds.
Covalent bonds: C-H and C-C Polar covalent bonds: C-O and O-H Ionic bonds: None

Sodium chloride has ionic bonds.
Carbon monoxide is a molecule with covalent bonds.
convalent bonds have the greatet bond energy.
Covalent bonds: C-H and C-C Polar covalent bonds: C-O and O-H Ionic bonds: None
The Oxygen and the Hydrogen atoms are held together by Covalent bonds and the Calcium is held together with Ionic bonds.
Covalent bonds have ionic "character" when they are polar. The more polar, (greater the electronegativity difference) the more ionic character.
Covalent bonds are different from ionic bonds because ionic bonds involve the sharing of electrons. Ionic bonds are also electrically conductive.
Phosphorus is a nonmetallic element so phosphorus-phosphorus bonds are covalent.
Ionic bonds are stronger.
