Question

Differentiate between electrovalent bond and covalent bond?
give correct answer please

Answer 1

♣Main Difference – Electrovalent vs Covalent Bond.

•Electrovalent bond is also called an ionic bond.

♠electrovalent bond is formed when two atoms are in an electrostatic attraction whereas covalent bond is formed when two atoms share their electrons with each other.

♠Nature of the Bond

Electrovalent Bond: Electrovalent bond is a type of electrostatic attraction between two atoms.

Covalent Bond: Covalent bond is a direct chemical bond between two atoms.

♠Electronegativity

Electrovalent Bond: The difference in electronegativity values of the atoms should be higher than 1.7 in order to form an electrovalent bond.

Covalent Bond: The difference in the electronegativity values of the atoms should be lower than 1.7 in order to form a covalent bond.

♠Ions vs Atoms

Electrovalent Bond: Ions are involved in the formation of electrovalent bonds.

Covalent Bond: Atoms are involved in the formation of covalent bonds.

♦You can write any difference u wish to either attached one or written on :)
