What are the three main differences between ionic and covalent bonds (attraction atoms electrons)?

- ionic bond: electrostatic attraction, specific for metals+nonmetals compounds, can form lattices.
- covalent bond: shared electrons between atoms, specific for nonmetals compounds, not so strong bond.

Covalent bonds form due to the attraction between .?
Covalent bonds are formed by sharing electrons between two atoms.
How do covalent bonds form due to the attraction between?
Between the electrons of one atom and the nucleus of another.
Are there differences between covalent bonding and covalent compound?
Covalent compounds and molecular compounds are the same thing if I recalled correctly, just different terms of calling it. And covalent bonds are the bonds formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms, and they are the strong forces of attraction WITHIN the molecule.Please do not get it mixed up with the weak van der Waals' forces that is found BETWEEN molecules and is caused by a temporary shift of electrons to one side of the molecule, resulting in a slightly positive/negative end.
What is a covalent bond and how do they form?
Covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms and it is this force of attraction that holds the atoms in covalent bond together.
What does ionic and covalent mean in chemistry?
Ionic: the force of attraction between oppositely charged ions (a metal and a nonmetals. Covalent: the force of attraction between the nuclei of atoms and the electrons shared by atoms (two nonmetals.
Covalent bonds form due to the attraction between .?
Covalent bonds are formed by sharing electrons between two atoms.
What is the force of attraction between the nulcei of atoms and shared electrons?
Covalent bond
What is the force of attraction between the nuclei of atoms and the shared electrons?
Covalent bond

What is a chemical bond that is formed by the electrostatic attraction between nuclei of the atoms and the shared electrons?
Covalent bond
What holds the atom together in a covalent bond?
Strong attractions of electrostatic forces between shared electrons and the positively charged nucleusCovalent bond is formed by the mutual sharing of electrons and has covalent force of attraction between them
What is the different between a covalent bond and ionic bond?
ionic transfers electrons, coavlent shares electrons and ionic has a metal and a nonmetal while covalent has 2 nonmetals
Is the attraction between a positive ion and a negative ion in a covalent bond true or false?
False. A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of valence electrons.
What holds the atoms together in covalent bonds?
Covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms and it is this force of attraction that holds the atoms in covalent bond together.
