Answer:
Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom. ... Covalent compounds tend to be soft, and have relatively low melting and boiling points.
If you look it up it will give you plenty of information. This is what I found:
The valence electrons of metals move freely in this way because metals have relatively low electronegativity, or attraction to electrons. The positive metal ions form a lattice-like structure held together by all the metallic bonds. ... When nonmetals bond together, the atoms share valence electrons and do not become ions

Copper has 29 protons, when dealing with Cu^2+ all that means is it lost two electrons. so now the element has 29 protons and 27 electrons. Protons are positive and electrons are negative and neutrons are neutral. So say you had an element X^2- then you have gained two more electrons so the element has an overall negative charge. hope that helps
