Essentially, pairs of electrons are shared in a covalent bond. Generally, it is greatest when atoms display comparable electronegativity.

Can a bond be a covalent and ionic bond?
No. A bond cannot be both covalent and ionic. A bond can be covalent, ionic or metallic. In covalent bonding electrons are shared, electrons are transferred in ionic bonding and electrons move about in a sea of electrons in metallic bonds.
What Bond formed by shared pairs of electrons?
That would be covalent bonding. Ionic bonding is the transfer of electrons, covalent is sharing.
Is chemical bonding a combination of ionic and covalent bonding?
Yes it is. Ionic bond - by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another Covalent bond - by the sharing of electrons between two atoms
What are the same thing about ionic bonding and covalent bonding?
They both involve electrons to form a chemical bond.
Is NaCl ionic bonding or covalent bonding?
It is ionic bonding because Na is sodium which is a metal and Cl is chlorine which is a nonmetal. Ionic Bonding happens between nonmetals and nonmetals.
What are the similar between ionic and covalent bonding?
Ionic and covalent bonding involve electrons. Ionic bonding involves the loss and gain of electrons, form ions. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.
How do you compare ionic and covalent bonding?
Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons.
Can a bond be a covalent and ionic bond?
No. A bond cannot be both covalent and ionic. A bond can be covalent, ionic or metallic. In covalent bonding electrons are shared, electrons are transferred in ionic bonding and electrons move about in a sea of electrons in metallic bonds.
Is covalent and ionic are same?
No, in covalent bonding atoms "share" electrons. In ionic bonding one atom completely takes on or more electrons away from another.
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.
What Bond formed by shared pairs of electrons?
That would be covalent bonding. Ionic bonding is the transfer of electrons, covalent is sharing.
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
Is chemical bonding a combination of ionic and covalent bonding?
Yes it is. Ionic bond - by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another Covalent bond - by the sharing of electrons between two atoms
What electrons involving bonding?
Covalent Bonds share electrons and ionic bonds transfer electrons.
When an atom gains or loses electrons it is called an?
covalent/ionic bonding.
How do electrons shells affect the ability of elements to bond?
The external electron shell is responsible for the formation of chemical bonds.
What are the same thing about ionic bonding and covalent bonding?
They both involve electrons to form a chemical bond.
