Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons with one another. This forms long chains of atoms. Covalent bonds tend to be soft, brittle, and have low melting/boiling points. Without covalent bonds, oxygen and water wouldn't exist!

Ionic bonds form when one atom gives an electron to another atom. Ionic compounds bond in a way that makes them form crystal lattice structures. When an atom loses an electron in this process, it becomes positively charged. The opposite happens when an atom gains an electron.

Metallic bonds are bonds between two atoms that make a metal (ie. Brass). Metallic bonds are formed when a metal ion bonds with another atom. Metallic bonds are formed in a way that lets them move freely. This is why metals are malleable.

Chemical bonding is the reason that we have anything exists in the first place! It is the bonding of atoms to form new substances. It is very important because without it, we would not have all of the substances that we have (and use everyday).
