No. Ionic compounds are not made by sharing electrons. Those would be covalent compounds. Ionic compounds are made when one atom donates an electron(s), and the other atoms takes the electron(s).

Ionic compounds do not share, they give out electrons.. its covalent compounds which share.. :D
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo, ionic bonding occurs when one atom completely pulls electrons away from another.
The sharing of electron pairs is covalent bonding.

∙ 7y agoIonic compounds are formed by the electrostatic attraction of ions.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoNo. Atoms of one element in an ionic compound either give or take one or more electrons while the other element takes or gives them.

What is a pair of electrons shared by two atoms in a covalent bond?
By definition, a covalent bond is a type of chemical bond characterized by the sharing of a pair of electrons between two atoms. If it's only one pair of electrons being shared, then it would be a single covalent bond, two pairs of electrons being shared is a double covalent bond, and three pairs of electrons shared would be a triple covalent bond.
What type of bond is ionic and covalent bond?
IONIC BOND: The compound formed by completely transporting an electron or a number of electrons is called an ionic compound, and the bond between the elements of the compound is called the ionic bond. EXAMPLE: NaCl is an ionic compound in which the Na atom donates 1 electron to Cl atom to attain stability and thereby to form the compound NaCl. In ionic bond, generally the metals are the electron donors and the nonmetals are the electron acceptors COVALENT BOND: The bond formed by sharing pair(s) of electrons is called covalent bond. In this type of compound, each of the atom shares equal no. of electrons in order to attain stability. A covalent bond can be of three types: single covalent bond, where 1 pair of electrons is shared between the atoms; double covalent bonds, where 2 pairs of electrons are shared; and triple covalent bond, where 3 pairs of electrons are shared.EXAMPLE:N2 molecule is formed by sharing of 3 pairs of electrons, thereby forming a N-N triple bond
What is the bond called when a pair of electrons is shared equally between two atoms?
This is a covalent bond. If the electron were taken by one or the other atom, it would be an ionic bond. A covalent bond in which the electron(s) spend(s) more time near one or the other atom is a polar covalent bond.
How many electron are there in a single covalent bond?
2. A covalent bond is a shared pair of electrons.
A covalent bond involves sharing of?
A covalent bond results when electrons are shared between two or more atoms.
How is a hydrogen bond different from a ionic bond?
Covalent and ionic bonds all have a shared pair of electrons and hydrogen has a pair of unshared electrons.
What happens when 1 pair of electrons are shared?
When one pair of electrons is shared, a single covalent bond exists. This bond can be either polar or nonpolar. If the electrons are equally shared, the bond is nonpolar. If the electrons are unequally shared, the bond is polar.
Shared pair of electrons holds a chemical bond called?
When two atoms share electrons, the shared pair of electrons form a chemical bond called a covalent bond.

one pair. hope that helps : >
Are Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are?
Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared between atoms.
