how do you know if it is a covenant bond or ionic bond?

Answer 1

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "covenant ionic bond biology compare" to get these possible sources:

http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemistrystudentfaqs/f/bondtypes.htm
http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/biology/bio4fv/page/ionic_b.htm
http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/sciences/chemistry/Inorganicchemistry/Informationbonding/CovalentElectrons/Similarities/Similarities.htm
http://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/science_fair_project_dictionary/Bond

Did you mean "covalent"?

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

Answer 2

Ionic bond is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged cations and anions.

Covalent bonding is the sharing of electrons between 2 non metals.
