Covalent bond
covalent bonds, either polar or nonpolar
Covalent bond.
A chemical bond resulting from the electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions is called an Ionic Bond. The chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons is called an covalent bond.
chemical bond
electrostatic force of attraction between the positive cations and the negative anions.
An ionic bond forms when one or more electrons from one atom are transferred to one or more other atoms. This leaves the first atom positively charged (a cation), and the other negatively charged (the anion). The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions is the ionic bond.
Metals can be thought of as a lattice of metal ions surrounded by electrons. Again the force of attraction is electrostatic. These electrons are delocalised and metals get their conductiity from thir movement under an applied electric field. Positive metal ions in chemical compounds are surrounded by negativelly charged anions. The force between the oppositely charged ions is electrostatic.

electrostatic force
It is an electrostatic attraction, not a transfer.
As alkali metals increase in size, the distance of the outermost electrons from the nucleus increases. The attraction between the electrons and the nucleus is electrostatic, and it is a fundamental property of electrostatic attractions that the attraction decreases with increasing distance between the attracting charges. Another way of describing this is that the attractive force is partially "screened" by the inner electrons between the outermost electrons and the nucleus.
The electrostatic force of attraction between electrons and nucleus was likened to the gravitational force of attraction between the revolving planets and the Sun.
For sodium chloride an electrostatic attraction exist between atoms.

Ionic bonding is based on electrostatic attraction between two atoms; covalent bonding is based on the sharing of electrons between atoms.
