Answer:

Ionic bonds are opposite, whereas Covalent bonds are opposite.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two opposite ions attract each other and form the ionic bond. Covalent bonding is a form of chemical bonding between two non metallic atoms which is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms and othercovalent bonds.

Examples:

Sodium Chloride and Sodium Fluoride are examples of Ionic bonds.

and

Water and Carbon Dioxide are examples of Covalent bonds.
