Chemistry

Ionic Bonding: 
This type of bonding occurs when atoms want to fulfil their valence shells by taking/giving electrons to other atoms. This, leads to completed valence shells in most cases and ionisation of both elements. The opposite charges cause the elements to stick together because opposites attract. 

Covalent Bonding: 
This type of bonding occurs when electrons are shared between atoms to each fill up their own valence shells by sharing. The balance between the attraction forces and repulsion forces between the shared electrons is called covalent bonding. 

Hope I helped :)

The above explains the mechanism of the core forming process on earth/planet.

It is believed that this process might has contributed significantly to a planet's early stages heating. The time when these core-forming event happened is thought to have been mainly completed very early when Earth was young . The type of this event rather than it being seen as a single catastrophic event, it is likely to have been as a result of contractions on the earth severally.

The addition of partially differentiated material from another giant impact the rate of this spasm , and it increases each time the planet's mass is to increased.

This is a little on the history of planetary evolution.
