I was under the impression octet expansions fall under the d orbitals but during an HW problem, Cl was able to expand its octet. I guess my question is what constitutes the octet expansion?

where is that number found?

In the book, ionic bonds are the transfer of electrons then it says covalent bonds share electrons.
Why do they have such a big difference don't they share either way?
