Question

How does a covalent bond differ from an ionic bond? A. A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share one or more protons. An ionic bond is formed when one atom gives up one or more protons to another atom. B. A covalent bond is formed when one atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom. An ionic bond is formed when two atoms share one or more electrons. C. A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share one or more electrons. An ionic bond is formed when one atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom. D. A covalent bond is formed when one atom gives up one or more protons to another atom. An ionic bond is formed when two atoms share one or more protons.

Answer 1

actually a covalent bond is a bond formed between two non metals and an ionic bond is an electrostatic bond formed when a cation takes electrons from an anion. electrons are the only thing that can move there for weather an atom is charged depends on weather there are as many electrons as proton or more or less electrons are negative and protons are positive so in order to be neutral negative anions give the extra electrons to the positive cations so that the negative anion loses the extra electrons making it neutral and the positive cation then gain the needed electrons to make it negative.

an ion is just a charged atom meaning more or less electrons than protons

Answer 2

C is a correct answer :)
