How is ionic bonds different from a covalent bond?

Answer 1

in ionic bond electrostatic force of attraction developed b/w opposit charges due to transfering of electron while in covlant bond atoms bonded due to sharing of electron

Answer 2

Ionic bonds form between atoms that transfer electrons, creating ions with opposite charges that are attracted to each other. Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons to achieve stable electron configurations. Ionic bonds are typically between a metal and a nonmetal, while covalent bonds are usually between two nonmetals.
