Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

Ionic and covalent bonds both involve electron interactions that lead to stability by achieving full outer electron shells through sharing or transferring electrons.


Explanation:

Both ionic and covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons, but through different mechanisms. In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred, while in a covalent bond, electrons are shared. This sharing or transferring of electrons makes the elements more stable by achieving a full outer electron shell.
