#In covalent bondig electrons are shared by atoms. A bond is made up of two shared electrons of opposite spin.
Many molecules contain atoms that obey the octet rule where the y share enough electrons to acheive an octet. Hydrogen is different it follows the duet rule, just shares two electrons. (achieving the octet or duet means that an atom has a similar electronic configuration to a noble gas)

What is convalent bonding?

I believe the qustion should read "what is a covalent bond". A covalent bond is a bonding interaction that comes about due to the effects of quantum mechanics and involves the sharing of electrons. Contrast this with an ionic bond that can be understood based on classical electrostatic forces.

What difference between ionic bonds and convalent bonds?

Covalent Bonding occurs with non-metal elements (O,N,Sr,Xe) Ionic the strongest of all the bonds is with both non and metals like (K and O)

Why might metallic bonding be weak compared to ionic and convalent bonding?

Metallic bonding is weaker than ionic and covalent bonding because metallic bonds are formed between delocalized electrons and metal ions, which have relatively low electronegativity differences. In contrast, ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, leading to strong electrostatic attractions, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, resulting in the formation of strong directional bonds.
