What type of chemical bond results in a transfer of electrons from one atom to another?

ionic|||there cannot be a bond if there is a transfer|||good question. I believe the chemical reacts to the electric.|||ionic bonding is transfer of electrons|||ionic - transfer


covalent - sharing|||Depends on if they bond to form a new substance or not. If the do its ionic if they dont its covalent.|||An ionic bond results from the transfer of an electron from one element to another. This makes the two ions oppositely charged and so attracted to each other. e.g in NaCl, (salt) Na gives up an electron to Cl to form Na+Cl- which are then attracted to each other.





A covalent bond is where the electrons from different atoms are 'shared'. e.g. hydrogen gas is H2 each hydrogen has 1 electron and they mix them together to give 2 electrons, a complete electron shell. (It's actually much more complicated than that but trust me you really don't want me to get into molecular orbitals and so forth).|||If it's a complete transfer of electron/s, then it's an ironic bond.


If the electrons are shared between atoms, it's a covalent bond.|||Ionic Bond.|||Your questions seem incomplete. you have to specify which kind of elements are involved. assume salt (Na and Cl) is the substance involved. The electron from Na will transfer to Cl (for Cl is more electronegative). This chemical bond is an Ionic bond. If it is a carbon ring or an alcohol, these have covalent bonds.|||Ionic or Electrovalent.|||oxidation-reduction|||ionic
