Answer to Question 1

Ionic bonding involves a transfer of electrons from the valence shell of one atom to the valence shell of another. The result of this electron transfer is two oppositely charged ions that are strongly attracted to each other and join to form an ionic compound. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of pairs of valence shell electrons between two atoms.

Answer to Question 2

Luster is the quality of the light reflected from the surface of a mineral.
