An octet is formed via ionic bonding when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
An octet is formed via covalent bonding when valence electrons are shared between atoms.
An octet is always formed via ionic bonding
Explanation: The essence of bonding is stability. An octet or duplet state is formed when one or more valence electrons are shared. when the electrons are shared, the type of bond formed is a covalent bond. An octet is formed via ionic bonding when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
