The phrase "transfer of electrons" indicates ionic bonding, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another to form ions with opposite charges that are held together by electrostatic forces.

Why CuS is covalent compound while CuO is ionic compound?

Not sure about your examples but electronegativity variance is a good rule of thumb for deciding ionic from covalent bonds. Electronegativity variance less than 1.4, generally much less, indicates a covalent bonding. Electronegativity variance greater than 1.4 indicates ionic bonding.


How can you figure out if a bond is ionic or covalent?

The difference in electronegativity between the atoms that are bonded. A difference of more than about 1.7 indicates that the bond will be ionic. Health warning - this is only a rule of thumb.


Events for ionic bonding?
