Explanation:

Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons from a metal to a non - metal. Sodium chloride (\(NaCl\)) is formed by the transfer of an electron from sodium (a metal) to chlorine (a non - metal). Water (\(H_2O\)), hydrogen peroxide (\(H_2O_2\)), and carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) are covalent compounds formed by the sharing of electrons between non - metals.
