Yes, for example in the reaction between a metal and a non-metal, metals loose electrons to form cations, and non-metals gain electrons to form anions. The resulting ionic solid is held together by ionic bonds formed due to the electrostatic forces acting between charged ions.

∙ 12y agoNo, ionic bonds are characterized by the transfer of electrons. Covalent bonds are characterized by the sharing of electrons.

What is the importance of chemical bonding in molecules?
Chemical bonds are what keep the atoms in a molecule together, without them you won't exist, the tables and chairs and anything visible would no exist. No compounds would exist but because of the way atoms are held together these bonds exist. It is impossible for them not to make bonds with their current structure.
How do ionic bonds and ionic compounds differ from covenant bonds and molecules?
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.
Do bonds between two atoms of distinct electronegative can forces exist?
Yes
What type of bond exists between two H atoms?
The bonds that exist between 2 H atoms are covalent bonds, and also Hydrogenbonds. Hydrogenbonds are very strong intermolecular forces.
What is true of covalent bond?
Nonpolar covalent bonds: 1) exist between two elements that share electrons, unlike ionic bonds 2) are when atoms are shared equally between the two atoms

Do hydrogen bonds exist between water molecules?
Yes they do.

What kind of bonds exist between Hexane molecules?
There are no bonds between hexane molecules. There are intermolecular forces, called London Dispersion Forces which attract other hexane molecules.
What is the maximum number of bonds that can exist between two carbons?
No more than 3 bonds (A triple bond) may exist between two carbon atoms.
Do bonds between two atoms of distinct electronegative can forces exist?
Yes
Why do inert elements exist as mono atoms in molecules?
Inert elements are those elements whose valency is 0 therefore they are very less reactive in nature, they do not tend to form chemical bonds and therefore they exist as mono atoms in molecules.
Why atoms and molecules are invented?
The were not invented, they exist. Atoms and molecules were discovered.
Does oxygen exist as atoms or molecules?
molecules
Are double bonds between elements longer or shorter?
Double bonds between elements are almost always shorter than single bonds between the same two kinds of atoms, when such bonds exist.
What is the weakest bond between two atoms is the?
the weakest bond between molecules is H-bonding. but H-bonding don't exist between atoms,it's an intermolecure force.
What type of bond exists between two H atoms?
The bonds that exist between 2 H atoms are covalent bonds, and also Hydrogenbonds. Hydrogenbonds are very strong intermolecular forces.
