"Shares electrons" is a characteristic of covalent bonds, which form covalent compounds.


Write down the differences between ionic compound from covalent compounds?

Ionic Compounds are formed by complete transfer of electrons while Covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons. Ionic compounds have higher melting points while covalent compounds have lower.


Do ionic compounds form from the sharing of electron pairs?

No. Ionic compounds are formed by transfer of electrons Covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons


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.


The difference between ionic compounds and covalent compounds?

An ionic bond is when one or more electrons are transfered from one atom to another. A covalent bond is when atoms share one or more electrons. The atom Hydrogen would need only 2 electrons but most need 8.


Will a neutral atom react with another atom?

Yes it could by the transfer of electrons (as in ionic compounds) or by sharing electrons (as in covalent compounds).


How do the structures of the ionic and covalent compounds differ?

The covalent bond is based on the electrostatic attraction of ions; in the covalent bond electrons are shared.


Covalent compounds display which of these properties?

Covalent compounds are neutral. Covalent compounds share electrons. apex:)


Is an ionic bond is a shared pair of electrons?

No. Ionic compounds are not made by sharing electrons. Those would be covalent compounds. Ionic compounds are made when one atom donates an electron(s), and the other atoms takes the electron(s).


Why do elements form ionic and or covalent bonds?

Covalent or molecular compounds form when elements share electrons in a covalent bond to create molecules.
