Question

Explain ionic bond and covalent bond with suitable example

Answer 1

Answer:

the bond take place between a cation and anion is called ionic bond

ex- NaCl

the bond between two non metal is called covalent bond

ex- PCl5

Answer 2

Answer:

ionic bonds or electrovalent bonds are those formed by actual movement of eletron from Electropositive element...(tendency to give up eletrons) ( like metals from group 1 or 2) to electronegative element (tendency to take up eletrons) (like halogens).

These bonds are very strong.

whereas covalent bonds are formed between atoms of non-metals like N2, Cl2

by sharing of eletrons to complete their octet. i. e the eletron isn't transfered from one atom to another as in ionic bond, but shared by both.
