Question

Which is the most accurate description of ionic and covalent bonding

A. Both bonds happen when valence electrons are shared between atoms

B. Both bonds happen when valence electrons are transferred between ions

C. ionic bonds happen when valence electrons are transferred between ions

D. ionic bonds happen when valence electrons are shared between atoms

Answer 1

C is the most accurate
Hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "ionic bonds happen when valence electrons are transferred between ions".

Explanation:

Ionic and covalent bonding are among the most common chemical bonds that take place to form molecules in nature. One important difference between these two types of bondings are that ionic bonds happen when valence electrons are transferred between ions, while in covalent bonds the valence electrons are shared instead of transferred. This difference makes ionic bonds weaker than covalent bonding.
