Here's a bit more detail:

* Ionic bonds: These form when one atom completely transfers an electron to another atom, creating ions with opposite charges. The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions forms the bond.

* Covalent bonds: These form when two atoms share electrons. The shared electrons spend time orbiting both atomic nuclei, creating an attraction that holds the atoms together.

Both ionic and covalent bonds are examples of chemical bonds, and both involve electrical attraction between atoms.
