Answer 1

1. Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons that are positively and negatively charged, whereas, covalent compounds are formed by sharing the electrons. 2. In an ionic compound, bonding involves a metal and nonmetal, whereas, in the covalent compound, bonding is between nonmetals.

Answer 2

Answer:

Differences between ionic and covalent bonds: Ionic bondsCovalent bonds Ionic bond is formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom. It is also known as electrovalent bond.

Covalent bond is formed by the sharing of valence electrons between atoms of similar electronegativityOccurs  between a metal and a non-metalOccurs between two non-metals.Ionic bonds do not have definite shapeCovalent bonds have definite shapeThey exists in solid state at room temperatureThey exist in liquid or gaseous state at room temperatureThey have high boiling and melting pointsThey have low boiling and melting points.
