Answer:
- In ionic bonds, one atom donates an electron to stabilize the other atom. In a covalent bond, the atoms are bound by the sharing of electrons. Atoms that participate in an ionic bond have different electronegativity values from each other. ... A polar bond is formed by the attraction between oppositely-charged ions.

Answer:
The two main types of chemical bonds are ionic and covalent bonds. An ionic bond essentially donates an electron to the other atom participating in the bond, while electrons in a covalent bond are shared equally between the atoms. The only pure covalent bonds occur between identical atoms.
