Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons between two atoms. This happens typically between nonmetals or between a nonmetal and a metalloid. Ionic bonds also involve sharing of electrons, but in ionics, one atom transfers electrons to another while covalent bonds occur with both atoms equally sharing the electrons. Hydrogen and carbonic bonds are not recognized in chemistry.
