Compounds with covalent bonds form molecules. Compounds with ionic bonds form ionic lattices.
MgCl2 is an ionic compound. there is a large difference in electronegativity between Mg and Cl.
ionic bond: between a metal and a nonmetal Covalent bond: between 2 non metals USUALLY and i don't know about hydrogen bonds...
Ionic bond: involve an electrostatic attraction between atoms.Covalent bond: electrons are shared between atoms.
In an ionic bond electrons are transferred and the bond is due to electrostatic attrcation between oppositely charged ions. in a covalent bond the electrons are shared .
A covalent bond is a sharing of electrons in the outer shell. An ionic bond is a bond formed by the attraction between two oppositely charged ions.

A covalent bond is a sharing of electrons in the outer shell. An ionic bond is a bond formed by the attraction between two oppositely charged ions.
It represents the boundary between what is considered to be an ionic or a covalent bond.
If there is a slight electronegativity difference, the bond is a nonpolar covalent bond. If there is a large electronegativity difference, it is an ionic bond. If the difference is somewhere between, it is a polar covalent bond.
If the electronegativity difference between two atoms is over 1.7, then ionic bond is formed and if it is below 1.7, then covalent bond is formed.
If this difference is under 2 the bond is covalent; if the difference is over 2 the bond is ionic.
If the difference in the electronegativity between two atoms is more than 1.7, then the bond is ionic and if the difference is below 1.7, then the bond is covalent.
Covalent- the small difference in electronegativity is the reason.
Covalent. There is no electronegativity difference between two atoms of the same element.
