The sharing of electrons results in a bond. Ionic bonds are formed between a metal and a nonmetal. This is due to the propensity for a metal to want to gain an electron to fill it's outer energy shell and non-metals, which normally donate electrons. Ionic bonds are very strong, resulting in compounds such as NaCl, sodium chloride or normal table salt with a bp of 2575 degrees F(1413 degrees C). Covalent bonds are those formed from the sharing of electrons, and as such have multiple types such as: dispersion force(london force), dipole-dipole, dipole-induced dipole, ionic, and hydrogen bonding.
