Ionic bonds involve electron transfer,while covalent bonds involve electron sharing.

Vedclass · Answer

(A) In an ionic bond,electrons are transferred from one atom to another,creating ions with opposite charges. These ions are stabilized by strong electrostatic forces of attraction.In a covalent bond,atoms achieve stability by sharing valence electrons to attain a stable noble gas electron configuration.Generally,atoms with a large difference in electronegativity form ionic bonds,whereas atoms with a small difference in electronegativity form covalent bonds.
