A gradual change. The most influential factor in bonds being ionic or covalent is electronegativity, which is basically a measurement of an atom's ability to attract electrons to itself. There are many different scales on which electronegativity is measured, but in general:
- If there is only a very small difference in the electronegativity values of two atoms, their bond is strongly covalent, because they both are attracting the shared electrons equally.
- The larger the difference in electronegativity values between two atoms, the more ionic their bond is, because one atom is attracting all the electrons, giving it a negative charge and the other atom a positive charge.
But because electronegativity is a sliding scale, there is a very wide range of values that the difference between two atoms' electronegativity can take. Therefore, you have a scale of bond types, ranging from strongly covalent all the way to strongly ionic.

Phase change is a physical change.
no. melting is a physical change and does not involve breaking of covalent bonds
You think probable to fermentation.
vaporization is the change of state from a liquid to a gas. Slow or gradual vaporization is called evaporation.
Abrupt means quick or fast, so the phrase abrupt change means an altered course that is made fast or quickly.
The motorcyclist made an abrupt lane change.
An albaquult is a variety of aquult - an ultisol soil - which has an abrupt change in texture between horizons.
The government made an abrupt change in their policy.

The change was gradual. The gradual shift from childhood to adulthood was beginning. My improvement in science was slow and gradual. Bernadette liked the gradual improvement she saw.
The change from fit to obese was gradual.
The boundry between the surface water and deep water. *boundary We know that warm water stays atop cold water. In fact, the change in temperature is abrupt, not gradual. The warm water layer is almost uniform in temperature. So is the cold water layer below. The dividing interface---pycnoline---is where the temperature changes from warm to cold.
