Common mistake
Confusing Electron Transfer and Sharing
Students often confuse electron transfer with electron sharing in chemical bonding, thinking they are the same process.
To fix this, remember that electron transfer involves one atom losing electrons to become a positive ion while another atom gains those electrons to become a negative ion, whereas electron sharing involves two atoms sharing pairs of electrons to form covalent bonds.
