In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from atoms of a metal to atoms of a non-metal, because metals lose electrons to form positive ions (cations) and non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions (anions.)

In metallic bonding, electrons of one atom are interchangable with electrons of another atom. This means there's a "sea" of electricity at all times between the atoms of metals, which explains why metals conduct energy well, and other physical properties such as malleability and ductility.

What makes a covalent bond different from an ionic bong?

The most obvious difference is that covalent bondingoccurs between non-metals, whereas ionic bondingoccurs between a metal and a non-metal.Covalent bonding is also a bonding process which shares electrons, whereas ionic bonding is a bonding process in which electrons are transferred. This would therefore also affect the way in which you draw dot and cross diagrams for a covalent compound versus an ionic compound.


When the outermost electrons are transferred or shared between atom?

When the outermost electrons are transferred or shared between atoms, it forms chemical bonds. This process allows atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration. Ionic bonding occurs when electrons are transferred, and covalent bonding occurs when electrons are shared.
