- 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.

Is the attraction between a positive ion and a negative ion in a covalent bond true or false?

False. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, rather than the transfer of electrons which occurs in ionic bonds where there is attraction between positive and negative ions. In a covalent bond, the sharing of electrons leads to a more stable arrangement for both atoms involved.


What are the differences between ionic and covalent bonds, and how are bases involved in these interactions?

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, resulting in the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms. Bases can interact with both types of bonds by either accepting or donating electrons, influencing the stability and strength of the bonds.


Covalent bonds form due to the attraction between .?

Covalent bonds form due to the attraction between atoms sharing electrons. This sharing allows both atoms to achieve a full outer electron shell, increasing stability. The shared electrons are attracted to the positive nuclei of both atoms, holding them together in a bond.


Is the force of attraction between atoms sharing electrons?

The two main types of bonds formed between atoms are ionic bonds and covalent bonds. An ionic bond is formed when one atom accepts or donates one or more of its valence electrons to another atom. A covalent bond is formed when atoms share valence electrons. The atoms do not always share the electrons equally, so a polar covalent bond may be the result. When electrons are shared by two metallic atoms a metallic bond may be formed. In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between two atoms. The electrons that participate in metallic bonds may be shared between any of the metal atoms in the region.


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.

The attraction that forms between atoms when they share electrons is known as a?

A bond where electrons are shared is known as a covelent bond. If the electrons are shared evenly (such as Cl2) it is a non polar covelent bond. If one atom has a slightly stronger pull because of a higher elctronegativity value (such as H2O) it is a polar covelent bond. Ionic bonds are when electrons are taken leaving a positive and negative ion.


Atoms are held together with covalent attraction?

Atoms are not held togetherinternally by covalent attraction, but instead by the so-called "strong force" of quantum theory. However, two or more atoms can be held together in molecules by covalent attraction.


Equal shared attraction between valence electrons results in what kind of bond?

A non-polar covalent bond.


What is a covalent bond made out of?

A covalent bond is made out of electrostatic attraction. When 2 or more atoms share electrons, the electrons are attracted to all the 2 or more nuclei of the atoms involved, and this shared attraction holds the molecule together.
