Electrons are shared between two ions in covalent bonds. Hydrogen bonding isn't a 'true' bond, as electrons aren't shared or exchanged. Instead, the hydrogen on one atom is strongly attracted to a highly electronegative atom (like F, O, N) on an adjacent molecule. The result is a strong attractive force between the adjacent atoms.
FYI - this explains why a low molecular weight polar substance like water (H2O) has a significantly higher boiling point than other nonpolar molecules of similar molecular weight. More energy has to be added to the system to overcome the attractive forces between the molecules of water.
Sodium. Oxygen is electronegative and hece pulls bonding electron towards oxygen atom, creating a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom. As unlike charges attract, it is then attracted to the positively charged sodium ion.
A covalent bond ocurs when two elements, which are usually non-metals, share electrons<span>. an ionic bond, however, ocurs when two elements, usually a metal and a non-metal, transfer </span>electrons<span>. because of the transfer of </span>electrons<span> that occurs during ionic bonding, ionic bonds are, for the most part, much stronger, hope it helps :)</span>
The oxidation state of N is
B.+5
