A covalent bond occurs when two Klingons get it on. An ionic bond occurs when a Cardassian and a Floopite hit the hay.
In an ionic bond, there is a complete transfer of electrons between the atoms. In a covalent bond, electrons are shared. All covalent bonds occur between nonmetals that have a difference in electronegativities that is 1.7 or less. An ionic bond almost always occurs between a metal and a nonmetal.
An Ionic bond is metals bonding to non-metals. A Covalent bond is non-metals bonding to non-metals.
the difference in the electronegativity between the two bonded atoms makes the covalent bond polar.
Ionic bond: involve an electrostatic attraction between atoms.Covalent bond: electrons are shared between atoms.
CO2 is Covalent a covalent bond is formed between two non-metals in this case carbon and oxygen
It is ionic. Electrons are transferred from magnesium to oxygen.
Covalent. There is no electronegativity difference between two atoms of the same element.
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
Covalent bonds have ionic "character" when they are polar. The more polar, (greater the electronegativity difference) the more ionic character.

no its a convalent bond as if it was an ionic bond it would be between a non-metal and metal (most of the time) but also between two ions. Because you are talking about two atoms it means that it is a covalent bond.
If this difference is under 2 the bond is covalent; if the difference is over 2 the bond is ionic.

convalent bonds have the greatet bond energy.
