How is covalent bounds different from ionic bounds?

Answer 1

covalent bonds are when NON METALS share their electrons to get a full outer shell where ionic bonds are when a METAL and a NON METAL "give" each other electrons so they have a full outer shell.

Answer 2

Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between two atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration, typically between nonmetals. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions, typically between a metal and a nonmetal.
