Electrons are shared between the atoms that are bonded. If there is an electronegativity difference between the atoms the electrons will be shared unequally.
OCl (hypochlorite) has a polar covalent bond. This results from the sharing of electrons between oxygen and chlorine atoms, where the oxygen atom has a higher electronegativity than the chlorine atom, causing an uneven distribution of electrons.
If it's a non-metal and non-metal, it is a colvalent bond. If it's metal and non-metal or metal and metal, then it is ionic. Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4 / Magnesium + Sulfate) is IONICbecause it is a metal and non-metal but it has a convalent bond in it, which is SO4 (Sulfur + Oxygen).
When atoms share electrons, they form a chemical bond, or covalent bond.
They share two electrons in a sigma bond (the kind of bond in a single bond) and two additional electrons in a pi bond (the bond that forms in a double bond). So in total, they're sharing four electrons in a double covalent bond.
In a covalent bond, the electrons used are typically the valence electrons of the atoms involved. These are the outermost electrons. Each atom contributes one or more valence electrons to form a shared pair in the bond.

the difference is thatcovelent bonds share electrons, thus creating bonds, the only reason they share electrons so that they can get full outer shells. Ionic bonds like....They bond between two different things, like a non metal, and a metal
it depends on the reactant. and the bond could be colvalent, ionic, coordinate, hydrogen bond or a mixture of these.
In bonds between metals and non- metals thety are transferred rather than shared

It becomes a positive ion.

Electrons are shared in a type of bond known as covalent. This type of bond is also considered a chemical bond.
A bond represents two electrons. These electrons are shared between two atoms to create a bond.
A covalent bond is only the sharing of electrons. An ionic bond involves the losing and receiving of electrons.
