b. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms; ionic bonds involve the electrical attraction between atoms.

c. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms; ionic bonds involve the sharing of protons between atoms.

Answer 1

The answer you need is A.

Answer 2

Covalent bond = share of electrons between 2 non metal elements example ( co2,cl2)
They share the neucili

Ionic bond = when metal and non metal atrac each other between them there is a force of atraction
