covalent bonds are also called molecular bonds since they are formed of the combination of different atoms to form molecules..while ionic bonds are formed of ions of the atoms..an ionic compound contains an anion (negative ion) and a cation (positive). Ionic bonds dont involve the sharing of electrons

How do ionic bonds differ from covalent bonds-?

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of ions that are attracted to each other due to opposite charges. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, creating a strong bond due to the shared electrons. Ionic bonds typically occur between metals and nonmetals, while covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals.

Which is stronger ionic or covalent?

Ionic bonds are generally stronger than covalent bonds. Ionic bonds are formed between ions with opposite charges, resulting in a strong electrostatic attraction. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, which are generally not as strong as the electrostatic forces in ionic bonds.
