Covalent bond: bond in which one or more pairs of electrons are shared by two atoms.
Ionic bond: bond in which one or more electrons from one atom are removed and attached to another atom, resulting in positive and negative ions which attract each other.
Metallic bonds are a special category of covalent bonds, which (unsurprisingly) occur in metals. In metallic bonding, the electrons delocalize, forming a sort of "cloud" or "soup," interspersed with the individual nuclei.

Ionic bond: it is also called "electrovalent bond". It is "a type of chemical bond that can often form between metal and non-metal ions through electrostatic attraction";
Covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding, "characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, or between atoms and other covalent bonds";
Metallic bond: "the chemical bond, which is characteristic of metals, in which mobile valence electrons are shared among atoms in a usually stable crystalline".
