Homework Help: Science [improv/repost]

Posted by mysterychicken on Thursday, February 5, 2009 at 9:32pm.

So the question is:
What is the difference between an ionic bond and a covalent bond?
My answer is:
In an ionic bond, the electrons are moved from one atom to another. In a covalent bond, the electrons are shared.
Is this OK? Thanks-MC

Looks good to me. Transferred may be a better word than moved but both will do.
