Explain how a covalent bond is different than an ionic bond. which type of bond is the stronger of the two bonds? give examples of molecules that are formed by each type of bond.

Ionic bond

Ionic Bond-NaCl

Covalent bond-

Explanation:

Covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between two non metals to complete their octet.The covalent bond is formed between two non metals which have similar electronegativity.

While ionic bond is formed by gain or lose of electrons between metal and non metal and complete their octet.It is formed between two ions in which one is positive due to lose of electrons and other non metal is negative ion  due to gain of electron.

Ionic bond is formed by lose or gain of electrons therefore, it is stronger than covalent bond.

Example of ionic bond is NaCl

Example of covalent bond is

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
