A covalent bond is a when 2 nonmetals combine together. A ionic bond is when a metal and nonmetal combine together to form a compound. NaCl is an ionic bond because Na (sodium) is a alkali metal, while Cl (chlorine) is a nonmetal. SCl_2 is an ionic bond because S (sulfur) is a nonmetal and Cl (chlorine) is also a nonmetal. There are 2 types of covalent bonds: Polar covalent and non polar covalent bonds. A Polar covalent bond is when electrons are not equally shared because they are more attracted to a different nucleus. A non polar covalent bond is when the electrons are spread out equally. Ionic bonds have to do with ions and charges, while both covalent bonds are relevant to a nucleus. Ionic bonds are made up of elements that have low electronegativity
