Ionic - electron transfer Covalent - electron share (co - share)
Ionic bonds are chemical bonds by positive ionic charge(normally hydrogen , metals +) and negative ionic charge(chlorine ,sulphur etc ) that bind to form compounds.
an ionic bond holds these crystals together
No. In ionic bonds metals give away electrons.
0. One side is positive, one is negative

A positive ion is attracted to a negative ion.
No. In ionic bonds metals give away electrons.
0. One side is positive, one is negative
Ionic bonds form between positive and negative ions.
ionic bonds
Ionic bonds is the attracting between opposing forces (positive and negative) while covalent bonds are atoms sharing electrons to get an inert gas configuration (8 electrons in valence shell). Covalent bonds exist as discrete molecules while ionic compounds do not exist as discrete molecules and form large crystal lattices.
Lose electrons and become positive ions.
Ionic Bonds form between positive cations, and negative anions and has an electronegativity of greater then 1.7. All ionic bonds are therefor formed between a metal and non-metal.
