Ionic bondit's called an ionic bondAn ionic bond is the type of bond formed between a cation and an anion.Ionic.They form an ionic bond.
Calcium has 20 electrons with 2 in its outer valence shell. When Ca2+ (a metal) bonds, it donates the 2 free electrons to a nonmetal forming an ionic bond. For example : Ca2+ + Cl2- = CaCl where calcium the cation donated 2 electrons and chlorine the anion accepted 2 electrons.
A bond in which electrons are equally shared is a non-polar covalent bond.
This is called a covalent bond.
an atom becomes a cation when the atom loses electrons during a reaction, and it becomes an anion when the atom gains electrons in a reaction it accepts an additional electron.
Convalent bonds (atoms all sharing their electrons), metallic bonds (a rigid crystal lattice bond), and ionic bonds (opposite electric charges-cation=+ anion=--that bond).
Covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of two electrons. Ionic bonds are the attraction of a positively charged cation and a negatively charged anion.
Ionic (be careful with that spelling!) bonds form through the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom (the cation) to another (the anion). Covalent bonds occur when the electrons are "shared" by two atoms.
Ionic bonds form ions. Ionic bonds are bonds between a metal and a non-metal(anion and cation) where each wil transfer electrons with each other.

A covalent bond is a bond that involves atoms to share electrons. When the shared electrons are not shared evenly, it is called a polar bond. When electrons are shared evenly, it is called nonpolar bond. Note that the only completely nonpolar bonds are bonds between atom of the same element.
covalent bonds are also called molecular bonds since they are formed of the combination of different atoms to form molecules..while ionic bonds are formed of ions of the atoms..an ionic compound contains an anion (negative ion) and a cation (positive). Ionic bonds dont involve the sharing of electrons

Valence electrons.
Alluminium has 3 electrons in its octet which it loses to form cation ad exhibits metallic properties. However carbon shares the 4 electrons in its octet and forms covalent bonds.
