Differences between ionic and covalent bond

• Ionic bond • Covalent bond

• It occurs between metals and non-metals • It occurs between non-metals

• There occurs complete transfer of electrons • There occurs sharing of electrons between

form metals to non-metals non-metals

• There occurs separation of charges • There occurs separation of charges only

when two non-metals are of different

reactivity

• They form ionic compounds. • They form covalent compounds.
