covalent compounds are the compounds formed by sharing of electrons between atoms of compounds.
ionic compounds are formed due to transfer of electrons whereas the covalent compounds are formed due to sharing of electrons
ionic compounds are extremely polar whereas the the covalent compounds are non-polar or less polar.
ionic bonds are between metals and non metals whereas the covalent bonds are between non metals.
ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points whereas the covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points

the compounds which are formed by sharing of valence electrons between the atoms such that both atoms attain the noble gas configuration is known as covalent bonds .
covalent compounds do not give rise to ions .
characteristics are as follows-
they have high melting point and boiling point.
they are poor conductor of electricity.
they dissolve in non -polar solvents.
