Well to put it simply iconic bonds give electrons to another atom while covalent bonds share electrons.

An ionic bond is a chemical link between two atoms caused by the electrostatic force between oppositely-charged ions in an ionic compound.

A covalent bond is a chemical link between two atoms in which electrons are shared between them

I hope this helps
