So what’s the difference between ionic bonds and covalent bonds? Ionic bonds are bonds formed between a positively charged cation and a negatively charged anion. Ionic bonds are formed when the cation transfers electrons to the anion. As unlike charges attract, the ionic bond is the strong electrostatic force of attraction between the two oppositely charged ions.  Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electronic configuration. If you are uncertain as to whether a compound is an ionic bond or a covalent bond, one simple way to differentiate is that ionic compounds form between metals and non-metals while covalent compounds form between non-metals only! #studytok #studytips #chemicalbonding #education #chemistry
