Question

A bond exists between A and B in the compound AB. A and B are sharing electrons. The type of bond is ____

Answer 1

They are covalent bonds.
Covalend bonds share
Ionic bonds transfer

Answer 2

Answer: Covalent

Step-by-step explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals. Example:
`H_2`

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal. Example:
`NaCl`

Thus bond formed by sharing of electrons is covalent bond.
