an ionic bond involves a transfer of electrons from the less electronegative atom(s) to the more elect. neg. atom(s) to form charged ions that interact with each other by columbic forces ionic, covalent, polar covalent
The transfer of electrons from one atom to another results in the formation of an ionic bond. This is in contrast to the covalent bond, in which we see the sharing of electrons between two atoms.
Ionic bonding. In covalent they are shared, but ionic the electrons are basically transferred.

Ionic.
Covalent.
When an electric current flows, electrons are being transferred from one atom to another. This electron transfer creates a polarity in the atom, which translates to a magnetic field.
It depends which 'other atom' it is
A covalent bond is a bond that involves atoms to share electrons. When the shared electrons are not shared evenly, it is called a polar bond. When electrons are shared evenly, it is called nonpolar bond. Note that the only completely nonpolar bonds are bonds between atom of the same element.
The valence electrons are either lost to another atom or the sodium atom gains valence electrons, it really depends on if what the sodium atom is bonding with has a lot or a little of valence electrons. The structure doesn't change though, just the number of valence electrons change. The nucleus is never changed when an ion is formed.
An atom of sodium has one valence electron. When a sodium atom loses this electron to another atom, it becomes a sodium ion.
Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
Covalent bonding is the bonding that is required to complete a transfer of an electron from one atom to another.
An ionic bond is formed when one atom donates one or more electrons to another atom. A covalent bond does not involve a transfer of electrons, it involves sharing electrons.
This is an ionic bond.
A metal and a halogen are involved in making an ionic bond.
An ionic bond involves a transfer of electrons from one atom to another . Covalent bonds involve a sharing.
By the complete transfer of electrons from atom to another.

Yes it could by the transfer of electrons (as in ionic compounds) or by sharing electrons (as in covalent compounds).
That would be ... an ionic bond....
