Question

Section 5: Covalent and Ionic Bonding

Bond is formed by the attraction of ions with opposite charges.
Covalent Bond is what?
Ionic Bond is what?

Bond is formed when two atoms share an electron.
Covalent Bond is what?
Ionic Bond is what?

Answer 1

Covalent bond is the sharing of an electron and the Ionic bond is the transfer of electrons they both usually happen between opposite charges meaning a positive charge and a negative charge

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Ionic bonds are defined as the bonds which are formed by the complete transfer of electrons from cation (positively charged ions) to anion (negatively charged ions).

This bond is formed by the attraction of oppositely charged species. They are usually formed between a metal and a non-metal.

For Example: NaCl,
`BaSO_4` etc...

Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms.

They are usually formed between two non-metals.

For Example: HCl,
`CH_4` etc.
