What defines an ionic bond?
What defines an ionic bond?
- Donation of electron(s) from a metal atom to a non-metal atom (correct)
- Sharing of valence electrons between non-metal atoms
- Pulling electrons towards the nucleus of each atom equally

How do covalent bonds differ from ionic bonds?
How do covalent bonds differ from ionic bonds?
- They involve sharing electrons between a metal and non-metal
