How are covelant and ionic bonds different and what types of elements combine to form each?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Ionic bonds result from the transfer of electrons from one atom to another

In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons, whereas in ionic bonds atoms transfer electrons. The reaction components of covalent bonds are electrically neutral, whereas for ionic bonds they are both charged.Covalent bonds are formed between two non-metals, whereas ionic bonds are formed between a metal and non-metal.
