In ionic bonding the electron rich species donates electron to the electron lacking species.in this process the electron donating species converts into cation by loosing electron and electron accepting species converts into anion by accepting electron.the ions now combine to from a ionic compound by releasing lattice energy

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.


Do anions and cations share electrons during ionic bonding?

No, anions and cations do not share electrons during ionic bonding. In ionic bonding, cations lose electrons to anions, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond based on electrostatic attraction between the positively and negatively charged ions.


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.


Bonding that involves the exchange or gain loss of electrons is known as?

ionic bonding


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 is the type of bonding due to a transfer of electrons?

Ionic


What types of bonding gain or lose electrons?

Ionic


What electrons involving bonding?

Covalent Bonds share electrons and ionic bonds transfer electrons.


Is isonic bonding the same as sharing electrons?

Yes, ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another to create charged ions, while sharing electrons in covalent bonding involves atoms sharing electrons to form a stable bond. Ionic bonding results in the formation of an ionic compound, while covalent bonding produces a molecule.


Is ionic bonding an example of intermolecular or intramolecular bonding?

Ionic bonding is an example of intramolecular bonding, where electrons are transferred between atoms to form ions that are held together by electrostatic forces.


What bond is formed when two electrons are combined?
