Ionic bonding is the bonding between a metal and a non metal

Covalent bonding is the bonding between two non metals

TheElite07: what H20 then

hdmackintosh: the sodium lost an electron and the chlorine gained and electron this makes them a ion the charges are positive for sodium because there are mor protons than electrons opposite for chlorine

hdmackintosh: Covalent hydrogen and oxygen are non metals

TheElite07: do convalent bondings split into ions..

hdmackintosh: the fluorines are sharing an electron pair
