Answer 2

• Ionic bonds are formed when there is an electron transfer between the atoms.
• They are formed when there is a high difference in the ionization potential of the atoms.

• Covalent bonds are formed when there is sharing between the electrons of different atoms.
• They are formed when an atom has high ionization potential resulting in inefficiency to lose an electron.
• Thus they share electrons with another atom to form bonds.
• Ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds.
