Can chemical bonds be produced by losing electrons losing nuetrons transferring electrons sharing electrons or gaining electrons?

Chemical bonds can be only produced by gaining, losing or sharing electrons. If a compound is formed by losing or gaining electrons, it is called an ionic bond and if by sharing electrons, it is called a covalent bond.
