In Ionic type of bonding, electrons are lost (more
protons than electrons and positive charge) or gained (more electrons than
protons, still a negative charge) by atoms, and the atoms are held together by
electrical attraction in the process. Covalent bondings are the sharing of electrons
as well as partial bondings. Covalent bondings’ electrons have the same charges
thus, there is no gaining or losing electrons in the process of sharing. Strong
bondings are applicable only to Hydrogen (H) atoms.
