"Shares electrons" is a characteristic of covalent bonds, which form covalent compounds.
Shared.
Ionic Compounds are formed by complete transfer of electrons while Covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons. Ionic compounds have higher melting points while covalent compounds have lower.
No. Ionic compounds are formed by transfer of electrons Covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons
carbon forms only covalent bond.It shares its electrons with some other element. Ex. CH4 methane
Carbon has four valence electrons and to for am ionic compound, carbon should lose all the four electrons. This needs high ionisation energy and hence carbon generally shares electrons and forms covalent compounds. However carbon does form ionic compounds as in metal carbides.
An ionic bond is when one or more electrons are transfered from one atom to another. A covalent bond is when atoms share one or more electrons. The atom Hydrogen would need only 2 electrons but most need 8.

a covalent bond shares electrons while an ionic bond loses electrons. get it got it good!
Yes. Covalent shares, ionic physically transfers.

ionic transfers electrons, coavlent shares electrons and ionic has a metal and a nonmetal while covalent has 2 nonmetals
The elements below Boron in group 13 generally give electrons to form ions, although they can form covalent compounds. Boron forms covalent bonds rather than ionic so it shares electrons.
Compounds are formed by the combination of atoms with bonds. These bonds are formed by the sharing of valence unpaired electrons of both bonded atoms or by the transfer of electrons . This form covalent or ionic bond and compounds are formed.
An ionic bond is when one or more electrons are transfered from one atom to another. A covalent bond is when atoms share one or more electrons. The atom Hydrogen would need only 2 electrons but most need 8.
Yes it could by the transfer of electrons (as in ionic compounds) or by sharing electrons (as in covalent compounds).
Metals are more likely to donate electrons to form ionic compounds. However, some transition metals such as mercury and tin can form covalent bonds in which the metal shares an electron with another atom
