For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.

Covalent bonds occur between identical atoms or between different atoms whose difference in electronegativity is insufficient to allow transfer of electrons to form ions. ... The two hydrogen atoms are attracted to the same pair of electrons in the covalent bond.
atoms tend to react in order to gain 8 valence electrons
Explanation:
The octet rule describes the tendency of atoms of elements to react in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell. This is because having eight valence electrons confers stability to the atoms of these elements in the compounds they form.
The octet rule only does not apply to the transition elements or the inner transition elements as only the s and p electrons are involved. the electronic configuration in atoms having an octet is s²p⁶.
For example, sodium atom has one valence electron in its valence shell but a complete octet in the inner shell; it will react with chlorine atom which has seven valence electrons to form a stable compound, sodium chloride by donating its one valence electron in order to have an octet. Similarly, the chlorine atom will then have an octet by accepting the one electron from sodium atom.
