ionic vs. covalent

[Doris Cho 1D]

how would you show that a molecule is ionically bonded or covalently bonded through a lewis structure?

[Simon Dionson 4I]

An ionic bond would be denoted as the cation being [M]+ with the anion having the donated electron(s) surrounding it with a charge [M]-. A covalent bond has a line for each bond its sharing electrons make. H2 is H-H because its electrons make a single bond

[Kendall 3H]

Covalent molecules share electrons, this is shown by a line in between the atoms. Ionic molecules do not share electrons.

Covalent bonds share electrons across the elements in the molecule. In ionic bonds, the cation "gives" its electron(s) to the anion.

[Ixcel Guzman 4A]

On the lewis structure you would connect with lines the covalent bonds since they are sharing the electrons.

When drawing our Lewis structures, is it necessary to indicate if bonds are covalent or ionic?

[Lauren Stack 1C]

Solely based off of the visual representation of a Lewis Structure, a covalent bond is represented with a line between two atoms, as they are sharing electrons. In an ionic bond, the atoms are not sharing electrons and are not represented with a line between them.

Are ionically bonded atoms always going to have a charge?
