List 5 differences between ionic and covalent compounds (Ex. high or low boiling and melting points, sharing or transferring electrons, etc.). in an ionic bond, the atoms are bond together by the attraction between oppositely charged ions. in a covalent bond, the atoms are bound by shared electrons. ionic compounds are between metals and nonmetals. covalent compounds are between only non-metals. an ionic compound is a puure substance that is formed from a metal and a non-metal.
