No, the bond electrons are weighted towards the element with the higher electronegativity, while forming the ionic bond.
The three types of bonds that can form when two atoms share electrons are covalent bonds, polar covalent bonds, and nonpolar covalent bonds. In covalent bonds, electrons are shared equally between atoms; in polar covalent bonds, electrons are shared unequally leading to partial charges; in nonpolar covalent bonds, electrons are shared equally leading to no charge difference.
Yes, that's correct. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. In an ionic bond, one atom transfers electrons to another, resulting in the attraction between oppositely charged ions to form a compound.
P2O5 is a covalent compound, not an ionic bond. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons. In P2O5, the phosphorus and oxygen atoms share electrons to form covalent bonds.
Nitric acid forms covalent bonds. The nitrogen and oxygen atoms share electrons to form bonds, rather than transferring electrons as in ionic bonding.
No, carbon and iodine form covalent bonds, where they share electrons to complete their outer electron shells. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
Materials with ionic bonds share electrons unequally, leading to the formation of positive and negative ions. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons, either equally in nonpolar covalent bonds or unequally in polar covalent bonds, which can create a partial positive and negative charge within the molecule.
Covalent Bonds share electrons and ionic bonds transfer electrons.
When thinking of bonds, always associate "sharing" with covalent (molecular) bonds. Atoms will share electrons in order to become stable, and depending on the element, will share them equally or unequally. "Transfer" refers to ionic bonds, in which electrons are given/taken.

Only in that they both involve electrons. Otherwise they are quite different. In a covalent bond, valence electrons are shared by two or more atoms, while in an ionic bond, electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another, forming oppositely charged ions. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond.

No. However, covalent bonds share electrons between two atoms. In an ionic bond, electrons are either gained or lost forming ions.
