A covalent bond is formed when atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Covalent bonds typically occur between nonmetal atoms. An ionic bond, on the other hand, is formed when one atom transfers electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are held together by electrostatic forces. Ionic bonds typically occur between a metal and a nonmetal.
