ionic
How would you define ionic and covalent?
Ionic bond-bond formed by donating or transfer of electrons. Covalent bond-bond formed by sharing of electrons.
What chemical bond is formed by the transfer of an electron?
A covalent bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atom to atom.
Is KCl a compound formed by a covalent bond?
No. KCl is formed by an ionic bond.
Why covalent bond insoluble in water?
covalent bond is a bond formed by sharing of electron of an atom. covalent bond is stronger than ionic bond.
Is NACL ionic or covalent bonds why cant it be covalent bond?
NaCl is a type of ionic bond. because it formed by the Na+ and Cl- ions formed in the process of ionization.
What is a bond in which atoms share electrons?
Covalent bonds SHARE electrons. Ionic bonds TRANSFER electrons.
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons and ionic bonds are formed when positive and negative ions bond to form an ionic compound.?
Ionic - electron transfer Covalent - electron share (co - share)
What is the difference beteween how ionic and covalent bonds form?
If the electronegativity difference between two atoms is over 1.7, then ionic bond is formed and if it is below 1.7, then covalent bond is formed.
When electrons are transferred between two atoms a covalent bond is formed.?
When electrons are transferred between two atoms a covalent bond is formed is known as an ionic bond.
How is covalent bonding differant to ionic bonding?
ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to the other covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms
How is a covalent bond similar to a ionic bond?
A covalent bond is formed by atoms sharing electrons; whereas, an ionic bond can be defined as the electrostatic attraction that binds oppositely charged ions together.
