Answer

An electrovalent bond is type of linkage that forms when a metal atom transfers one or more electrons to a non metal atom to attain a stable configuration. This type of bonding gives rise to the formation of positive and negative charges.Example:MgCl2, NaH.

A covalent bond is equal sharing of two participating atoms wherein the atoms attain stability in its outer shell.Example : Formation of H2, Cl2.

 

Answer

An electrovalent bond or ionic bond is formed by the transfer of valence electron(s) usually between the atoms of a metal and a non-metal, while a covalent bond is formed by the sharing of valence electrons usually between the atoms of two non-metals. 

 

 

Answer
The possible difference between electrovalent and covalent bond is that electrovalent bond is formed by complete transfer of electron whereas covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between two atoms
