How would you define ionic and covalent?

Ionic bond-bond formed by donating or transfer of electrons. Covalent bond-bond formed by sharing of electrons.


Is KCl a compound formed by a covalent bond?

No, KCl is not formed by a covalent bond. It is an ionic compound composed of a metal (potassium) and a nonmetal (chlorine). Ionic bonds are formed between metals and nonmetals, while covalent bonds are formed between two nonmetals.


Can a covalent bond from when electrons are transferred between 2 atoms?

No, It would be an ionic bond. For Covalent is the sharing of atoms, ionic is transferring.


Is baking soda a covalent ot ionic bond?

Baking soda contains both covalent and ionic bonds. The bond between sodium and bicarbonate ions is ionic because there is a transfer of electrons, while the bond between carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in the bicarbonate ion is covalent because they share electrons.


The bond that is formed when two atoms trade electrons is an bond?

Is HCI an ionic bond or covalent bond?

HCI (hydrochloric acid) is a covalent bond, formed between hydrogen and chlorine atoms by sharing electrons. Ionic bonds are formed between a metal and a nonmetal through the transfer of electrons.


When electrons are transferred between two atoms a covalent bond is formed.?

When electrons are transferred between two atoms a covalent bond is formed is known as an ionic bond.


How is covalent bonding differant to ionic bonding?

ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to the other covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms


How is a covalent bond similar to a ionic bond?

A covalent bond is formed by atoms sharing electrons; whereas, an ionic bond can be defined as the electrostatic attraction that binds oppositely charged ions together.


What kind of bond forms when two ions of opposite charges attract each other?

These bonds are called ionic bonds. They are formed by electrostatic attractions.


What bond is formed when a pair of electrons is donated to another atom?

The transfer of an electron from one atom to another results in an ionic bond.


What chemical bond is formed by the transfer of an electron?

Ionic bond is formed by the transfer of an electron. In an ionic bond, one atom loses electrons to become positively charged (cation) while another atom gains those electrons to become negatively charged (anion), leading to an attraction between the two oppositely charged ions.
