How can you relate a basketball to ionic and covalent bonding?

In terms of bonding, the basketball can be compared to a covalent bond, where the two atoms (players) share the ball (electrons) to maintain stability. On the other hand, the ball being passed between players can be likened to an ionic bond, where one player (atom) transfers the ball (electron) to another in order to achieve a full outer shell.


How is ionic bonding differant to covalent bonding?

In ionic bonding electrons are transferred from one element to another and are localised and not shared. the force of attraction in ionic bonding is electrostatic. In covalent bonding electrons are shared, or in some cases delocalised as in benzene. The source of the strength of a covalent bond is a quantum effect.
