What is an ionic bond ? With two suitable examples, explain the diference between an ionic and a covalent bond ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For the explanation of ionic bond, consult section 4.3 The two points of difference between ionic and covalent bonds are given :
(i) in the ionic bond formation, there is transference of one of more electrons from one atom to the other (e.e. NaCl) while in the covalent bond formation, there is electon sharing `(e.g. C Cl_(4)).`
(ii) ionic bond is non-directional while covalent bond has directional nature.
