What is the difference between an ionic bond and a covalent bond?

Answer 1

An ionic bond is a chemical bond between two ions that have opposite charges, characteristic of salts. Also called electrovent bond.

A covalent bond is a chemical bond formed by the sharing of one or more electrons, especially pairs of electrons, between atoms.
Covalent bonding: the electronegativity difference between bonded atoms is very small

Ionic bonding: the electronegativity difference between bonded atoms is important

Answer 2

an ionic bond is when one molecule gives up an electron from its valence shell to the other molecule. In a covalent bond the 2 molecules will share electrons so that each of their valence shells are full.
okay so if your are wondiring this i was doing this for a study guied and i found this they are both are convalent but i dought this is it sooo what do u think it ould be ugly

Answer 3

Covalent bonds - bonds that form between atoms that share electrons. Ionic bonds - type of bonding where atoms are held together by strong attraction of their opposite charges. Ionic bonding forms ions and occurs when atoms lose or gain electrons to form compound. I hope that helps :)

Answer 4

ionic are liquid and covalent are solid

salt is a solid ionic bond ^

Ionic bonds are bonds formed between ions (charged atoms) because of there opposite charges each atom louses or gains valence electrons to become ions and complete their octet (having 8 valence electrons like the Noble Gases)

covalent bonds are when to or more atoms share valence electrons to complete their octet

Answer 5

Covalent bonds share electrons and ionic bonds they transfer electrons.

Answer 6

Ionic bonds are and unequal sharing of electrons. Covalent bonds are and equal sharing of electrons.
