Cations donate atoms to form an ionic bond.
Compounds are formed when elements of matter are chemically combined.
When atoms share electrons during the formation of a compound, a covalent bond is formed. This type of bond typically occurs between nonmetals, allowing each atom to attain a more stable electron configuration. The shared electrons enable both atoms to fill their outer electron shells, resulting in a stable compound.
The result will have new and different properties.
Compound is formed by the chemical combination of two or more substances.
These are covalent compounds formed by sharing electrons.

Hydrogen and helium were formed shortly after the creation of the universe (when the protons and alpha particles combined with electrons). Everything else was formed within the core of stars (by fusion reactions).

Ionic bonding
Elements are formed from atoms. Atoms are formed of protons, neutrons, and electrons (sub-atomic particles).
ions

A compound. Depending on the elements combined, the compound may or may not have the same characteristics as the original elements.
