Ions do not share electrons. One ion becomes positively charged due to the transfer of one or more electrons to the atom that becomes negatively charged. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond.

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.


Are double and triple bonds found in covalent and ionic bonding?

Double and triple bonds are typically found in covalent bonding, where two atoms share two or three pairs of electrons, respectively. In ionic bonding, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of ions. Thus, double and triple bonds are not typically present in ionic bonding.


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.


Where are the electrons found that are involved in ionic or covalent bonding?

Electrons are found in outer shells around the nucleus. The nucleus has protons and neutrons in it. The electrons are in shells or clouds around the nucleus. There are different numbers of electrons in each shell. The first one has two and the second one holds 8 electrons. An ionic bond will transfer electrons where a covalent bond will share electrons in the outer most orbital Hope it helps


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.
