Ionic and Covalent bonding

| Hydro-Chloric Acid |
Ionic and Covalent bonding show the different bonds an atom makes in order to gain stability. Ionic bonding is the transfer of electrons from one atom to the the other so both the atoms achieve what is required. Whereas Covalent bonding is the sharing of electrons so both sides get each other's electrons. Ionic bonds are mainly solids at room temperature and the strength of their bonds are very high. Comparatively Covalent bonds are gaseous at room temperature and have a relatively low strength of bond. Molecules of Ionic bonds include common salt where ions are formed in a lattice formation and react to make Sodium Chloride. Molecules of Covalent bonds include Hydro-Chloric acid where no ions are formed but are packed enough to form enough the molecule.
These ball and stick models will help me further explain this topic on Covalent bonds.
