Does the ionic bonding involve the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another like water?

Ionic bonding only requires that a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion are chemically bound. Generally this involves the transfer of one or more electrons between the two atoms.
Water is not an atom - it is a molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a central oxygen atom. However, water can act as an ionic compound when added to a base or an acid, and either accept a proton (a hydrogen that gave up its electron to another atom or molecule) or split into H+ and OH-.

What type of bond involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another?
Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
At STP which substance has metallic bonding?
Iodine
What does covalent bonding involve?
Covalent bonding involves two atoms sharing electrons so that they both have a full outer most shell.
What are the same thing about ionic bonding and covalent bonding?
They both involve electrons to form a chemical bond.
What bonds involve the total transfer of electrons from one atom or group of atoms to another called?
hydrogen bonds
What type of bond involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another?
Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

Iodine
What does covalent bonding involve?
Covalent bonding involves two atoms sharing electrons so that they both have a full outer most shell.
Does metallic bonding involve free-floating electrons?
Yes that is how metallic bonding is modeled - a sea of electrons.
What are the similar between ionic and covalent bonding?
Ionic and covalent bonding involve electrons. Ionic bonding involves the loss and gain of electrons, form ions. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.
What are the same thing about ionic bonding and covalent bonding?
They both involve electrons to form a chemical bond.
What is Bonding by electron transfer?
Valence electrons are the parts of the atoms involved It is the electron. As electrons are fermions (1/2 integer spin) they obey the Pauli exclusion principle so that no two electrons can occupy the same energy level. This gives rise to the electrons of different atoms unable to be in the same energy level and this is where the bond comes from. If they could occupy the same energy levels like bosons (eg the photon in laser light) then there would be know chemistry.
What bonds involve the total transfer of electrons from one atom or group of atoms to another called?
hydrogen bonds
What name is given to bonds that involve sharing electrons?
There are two types of chemical bonds, ionic and covalent. Ionic bonds involve the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between the two atoms.
What bonds involve sharing electrons?
Covalent Bonds share electrons and ionic bonds transfer electrons.
What part of that atom is involved in bonding?
The outer or valence electrons are the ones involved in bonding.Valence electrons
Does Covalent Bonding involve Sharing of Electrons?
No. A double covalent bond consists of two pairs of shared electrons, four electrons altogether.
