This is true, but they are not the same as covalent bonds, which are also the sharing of electrons.

Covalent Bond
A covalent compound is always formed by the sharing of valence electrons(electrons in the last shell).
A positive metal ion and the electrons surrounding it.
The electrons that form bonds are called valence electrons. These electrons are in the outer most shell of an atom.
The three types of chemical bonds include the ionic bond, wherein bond is formed when one atom accepts or donates its valence electrons to another atom. Another chemical bond is the covalent bond, wherein bond is formed when atoms share valence electrons. Metallic bond is formed when electrons are shared by two metallic atoms.
covalent - which means "sharing of valence electrons"
There are several possible bonds. Large differences in electro negativity favor ionic bonding, formed by transfer of valence electrons between two different atoms. The covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons, rather than transferring them. The metallic bond, the electrons are delocalized, essentially they are able to move essentially free throughout the structure. The bonding occurs by electrostatic attraction between the electrons and the positive metal ions. :)
