Question

What is different between an ionic bond and a covalent bond?

A An ionic bond is a bond between charged atoms, while a covalent bond is a bond between opposite charges.


B An covalent bond is a bond between charged atoms, while an ionic bond is a bond between neutral atoms.


C An ionic bond is a bond between charged atoms, while a covalent bond is a bond between neutral atoms.


D An ionic bond shares electrons, while a covalent bond is an attraction between opposite charges.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ionic bonds result from transfer of electrons, whereas covalent bonds are formed by sharing. 2. Ionic bonds are electrostatic in nature, resulting from that attraction of positive and negative ions that result from the electron transfer process; charge separation between covalently bonded atoms is less extreme.
