Ionic is the transference of electrons and covalent is sharing
Also ionic is with metals and non-metals and covalent is just non-metals

Ionic bonds will be a metal + a nonmetal, and electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal.

A covalent bond will be a nonmetal only. Nonmetals will not give up their electrons so electrons are shared.
