A covalant bond happens only between non-metals, and some metalloids.
In a covalent bond, the different elements share their valence electrons in order to achieve stability in electronic configuration.
For example, in the covalent bond of carbon dioxide (CO2), each oxygen atom will share 2 of its electrons with the carbon atom, while the carbon atom will share 2 of its valence electrons with each of the oxygen atom. In this way, all 3 atoms will achieve the stable octet structure.
Do take note that in covalent bonds, the total number of electrons shared by 2 atoms are usually equal.
