In an ionic bond, one atom loses electrons( becomes more positive) and the other gains the electrons ( becomes more negative) what keeps them bonded is the now positive/negative attraction.
In covalent bonding, both atoms share the electrons, but are again held together by positive/negative attraction.
A covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms, creating a strong bond. In contrast, an ionic bond involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, creating a bond between positively and negatively charged ions. Ionic bonds are typically stronger than covalent bonds.
NO is polar. If you compare the electronegativities (how strongly the element pulls on electrons) N 3.04 O 3.44 ( bigger therefore pulls electrons harder) The electrons will be drawn to the oxygen causing it to be slightly negative, and the N to be slightly positive.
Chemical compounds are formed by the joining of two or more atoms. A stable compound occurs when the total energy of the combination has lower energy than the separated atoms. The bound state implies a net attractive force between the atoms ... a chemical bond. The two extreme cases of chemical bonds are: Covalent bond: bond in which one or more pairs of electrons are shared by two atoms. Ionic bond: bond in which one or more electrons from one atom are removed and attached to another atom, resulting in positive and negative ions which attract each other.
In a covalent bond, the attractive force is the sharing of electrons between atoms, which binds them together. The repulsive force arises from the negatively charged electrons and positively charged nuclei pushing against each other. The total strength of the attractive force between the shared electrons and nuclei is typically stronger than the repulsive force, stabilizing the bond.
Ionic bonds are formed between a metal cation and a non-metal anion. The bond is very strong because of the opposite charged ions. Covalent bonds are formed between two non-metals and are much weaker than ionic bonds.
Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons.

Compare and contrast it with what?
Covalent, Metallic, and Ionic crystals have high melting points and densities, but molecular crystals tend to be soft and has a lower melting point. Covalent crystal=covalent bond and Ionic crystal=ionic bond.
1. Compare 2. Contrast
compare is when you compare two things that are the same and contrast is when you compare two things that are different.
Not at all, in a covalent bond there is no losing or gaing of electrons as both of the atom reacting to make a covalent bond needs electrong therefore they share the electrons to stablized, but in ionic compound like NaCl, there is a losing of electron and gaining of electrons, therefore one element loses and one element gains. Ionic bond or "electrovalent bond" are strong bonds as compare to covalent bonds.
