Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The difference between an ionic bond and a covalent bond has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
An Ionic bond is the result of the transfer of one or more electrons from a metal onto a non-metal.
Covalent Bond: Mutually sharing of electrons between two non- metal atoms.
Explanation of Solution
An ionic bond and a covalent bond differ in the location of the electrons.
Ionic bond | Covalent Bond |
In ionic bonds, there is no sharing of electrons. The cation is deficient in electrons and the anion has extra electrons. | A covalent bond is formed when both atoms need to gain electrons; they achieve this by sharing electrons. |
The opposite charges of these ions cause them to be attracted to each other and that is what we call ionic bonding. |
The atoms must stay close together to share electrons. |
Covalent bonds are easier to break than ionic bonds. |
But ionic bonds are not easier to break. |
It is a weak bond |
It is a very strong bond. |
Covalent bonds can form between atoms of the same elements, like hydrogen molecule. |
However, ionic bonds cannot do this. Example: sodium chloride. |
