After you learn quite a lot about an ionic bond, now think another bond, that is a covalent bond.
Look at the picture, the simplest example is a hydrogen molecule. Compare this bond with ionic bond, such as in table salt, NaCl.
Is there any electron transfer in the bond between hydrogen atoms? Are you sure there is no electron transfer at all? What is the reason? Hydrogen is a non metal, so the bond is really different with NaCl, because sodium is a metal. Its OK, good point.
As before, your task is, make paragraphs which consist of clear explanation about the bond oh H2 molecules. Don't forget to mention Lewis structure, duplet rule, single covalent bond, and non polar covalent bond, including the reason of each clarification. Then apply this concept to another similar molecule, such as chlorine molecules.
