Question

1. what is one way that “covalent bonds” and “ionic bonds” differ? a) ionic bonds involve sharing electrons, covalent involve transferring electrons. b) ionic bonds involve transferring electrons; covalent involve sharing electrons. c) covalent bonds only occur at high temperatures. d) ionic bonds always form molecules.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, creating ions that are attracted to each other. Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Answer:

B. Ionic bonds involve transferring electrons; covalent involve sharing electrons
