I believe the qustion should read "what is a covalent bond". A covalent bond is a bonding interaction that comes about due to the effects of quantum mechanics and involves the sharing of electrons. Contrast this with an ionic bond that can be understood based on classical electrostatic forces.

What difference between ionic bonds and convalent bonds?

Covalent Bonding occurs with non-metal elements (O,N,Sr,Xe) Ionic the strongest of all the bonds is with both non and metals like (K and O)


Why might metallic bonding be weak compared to ionic and convalent bonding?

Metallic bonding is weaker than ionic and covalent bonding because metallic bonds are formed between delocalized electrons and metal ions, which have relatively low electronegativity differences. In contrast, ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, leading to strong electrostatic attractions, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, resulting in the formation of strong directional bonds.


What type of charge do proton nuetron and electron have?

A proton has a positive charge and a neutron has a negative. The nutron travels in shells around the nucleus. this is what the bonding in a compound uses - convalent and ionic bonding. The ratio between the protons and the neutrons tell us whether something is postively charged or negatively charged.
