A. A covalent bond is a bond in which an electron has been transferred from one atom to another resulting in stable electron formation; an ionic bond is a bond formed when an electron is shared between atoms.

B.An ionic bond is formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another to create stable electron formation; a covalent bond is a bond in which an electron is shared between atoms.

C.An ionic bond creates a more stable electron configuration than a covalent bond by alternating its overall charge.

D.An ionic bond is created by a charge difference by gaining protons, and a covalent bond is created by a charge difference by gaining electrons.
