In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in one atom gaining electrons (anion) and the other atom losing electrons (cation). In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between atoms, allowing them to complete their valence shells.
When a bond is formed by atoms by sharing the electrons, the bond is called a 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.
When atoms share electrons, they form a chemical bond, or covalent bond.
Ionic bond.
covalent bond
When electrons are taken or given between atoms, it forms an ionic bond. In this type of bond, one atom donates electrons, becoming positively charged, while another atom accepts those electrons, becoming negatively charged. The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions holds them together. This process typically occurs between metals and nonmetals.

When a bond is formed by atoms by sharing the electrons, the bond is called a covalent bond.
In metallic bonding, the valence electrons freely 'jump' from atom to atom, forming kind of an electron sea.

A nonpolar covalent bond involves an even sharing of electrons.
When electrons are transferred, ionic bond is formed. It is a stronger bond.
