What are the differences between an ionic compound and a covalent compound?
Can you explain to me the differences between an ionic compound and a covalent compound?
Sure! An ionic compound is formed by the transfer of electrons from a metal to a non-metal, resulting in the formation of ions with opposite charges. A covalent compound, on the other hand, is formed by the sharing of electrons between two non-metals.
