Differentiate between ionic bond and covalent bond?

Answer 1

Covalent bonds occur when electrons are shared between atoms. Ionic bonds occur when one atom transfers electrons to another atom, forming positive and negative ions. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged atoms form an ionic bond.

Answer 2

Many Different ways to differentiate the Binary compounds, one is that an Ionic Bond is a bond that has a metal and a nonmetal bond. As too covalent bond has two nonmetals. Another method would be that ionic bonds use oxidation numbers as when covalent bonds have numerical pretices.
