I will give an example for this.

Case 1: You and your girlfriend are out camping. Your GF forgot to bring lunch, not an eatery in sight and you have an extra lunch. What do you do? You give her extra lunch and are fine with yours.

Same case with Ionic Bond where one atom with more electrons gives it’s electron to other.

Case 2: You and your friend (male) are out camping. Both bought lunch but you have an extra too. After eating lunch both of you are hungry. What you do? You share the extra lunch so both are full.

Same case with Covalent Bond where two atoms share electrons to get stable configuration.
