Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons --- they both need the shared electron(s) to fill their outer electron shell. Ionic bonds are when one atom gives electron(s) to another atom --- the atom that has given the electron(s) has a positive charge and the atom that received the electron(s) has a negative charge
