- ionic bond: electrostatic attraction, specific for metals+nonmetals compounds, can form lattices.
- covalent bond: shared electrons between atoms, specific for nonmetals compounds, not so strong bond.
Covalent bonds are formed by sharing electrons between two atoms.
False. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, rather than the transfer of electrons which occurs in ionic bonds where there is attraction between positive and negative ions. In a covalent bond, the sharing of electrons leads to a more stable arrangement for both atoms involved.
A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two atoms, allowing both atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration, typically filling their outer energy levels.
Covalent compounds and molecular compounds are the same thing if I recalled correctly, just different terms of calling it. And covalent bonds are the bonds formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms, and they are the strong forces of attraction WITHIN the molecule.Please do not get it mixed up with the weak van der Waals' forces that is found BETWEEN molecules and is caused by a temporary shift of electrons to one side of the molecule, resulting in a slightly positive/negative end.
A bond where electrons are shared is known as a covelent bond. If the electrons are shared evenly (such as Cl2) it is a non polar covelent bond. If one atom has a slightly stronger pull because of a higher elctronegativity value (such as H2O) it is a polar covelent bond. Ionic bonds are when electrons are taken leaving a positive and negative ion.

ionic transfers electrons, coavlent shares electrons and ionic has a metal and a nonmetal while covalent has 2 nonmetals

Covalent Bond. A form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms
Ionic bonds are based on the electrostatic attraction of ions; covalent bonds are based on the sharing of electrons between two atoms.
Actually, atoms are held together in a covalent bond by the sharing of electrons between two atoms. This sharing creates a stable arrangement of electrons for both atoms, leading to a strong bond between them.
A non-polar covalent bond.
