Ionic vs Covalent Bonds Explained Through Real-Life Examples

The video tutorial explains the differences between ionic and covalent bonds. Ionic bonds occur between metals and non-metals, involving electron transfer, while covalent bonds involve electron sharing between similar atoms. The video covers bond formation, polarity, and molecular shape, providing examples like NaCl for ionic bonds and CH4 for covalent bonds.

What is the primary difference between an ionic bond and a covalent bond?

• Both ionic and covalent bonds involve transferring electrons.

• Ionic bonds involve transferring electrons, while covalent bonds involve sharing electrons.
