Describe the differences between bonding in an ionic compound and bonding in a covalent molecule.

a covalent bond and an ionic bond. An ionic bond if formed from the transfer of electrons from the outer shell of atoms. ... An example of this is NaCl, where the sodium atom becomes Na+ due to the loss of electrons, and the chlorine atom becomes the negatively charged chloride (Cl-).

on passing the small ampere of electric current through the tube made of ar and hg of cfl generates uv rays which excites the fluorescent and thus emits the high radiation by consumption of just 5- 12 w in comparison to incandescent light which requires more power such as around 40 - 55 w to lighten.

moreover the life span of fluorescent or cfl is around 8000 h whereas the life span of incandescent is around 1200 h

hence, the building installed with incandescent lights bears more electricity bill.
