Question

How do ionic bonds differ from covalent bonds?


Protons are transferred in an ionic bond.


Protons are shared in an ionic bond.


Electrons are shared in an ionic bond.


Electrons are transferred in an ionic bond.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Nonmetals can form different types of bonds depending on their partner atoms. Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals.

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal.

A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms.

Atoms form covalent bonds in order to reach a more stable state.

A given nonmetal atom can form a single, double, or triple bond with another nonmetal. Which type of bond is formed between the atoms depends on their numbers of valence electrons.

Answer 2

Option (a) is the correct answer

Ionic bonds differ from covalent bonds because they are protons which are transferred in ionic bonding

Explanation:

• In ionic bonding, transfer of electron takes place in atoms
• In Ionic bonds it requires only one electron donor and one electron acceptor.
• In Ionic bonds complete transfer of electrons between atoms takes place, where a chemical bond is generated between the atoms.
• In covalent bond, sharing of electron takes place in atoms with same electronegativity.
• Such type of bonding takes place between two atoms of the same element.
• Elements which are close to each other in the periodic table bond together to form covalent bond.
• Here the atoms attracts or repels the shared electrons.
• Such type of bonding takes place in non metals.
