Answer:

Covalent bonds can form between atoms of the same elements (i.e. H2). However, ionic bonds cannot do this. Covalent bonds are formed between two non-metals, whereas ionic bonds are formed between a metal and non-metal. Molecules formed by covalent bonds have a low melting point, whereas those with ionic bonds have a high melting point.
