a covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons....there is no ion formed..

each hydrogen has 1 valence electron ..so in order to get stable it shares it electron with another hydrogen atom to form diatomic molecule of hydrogen... a single bond is represented by a single hyphen

H* *H (* represents valance electrons)

H ** H ( both hydrogen share electrons to complete their duplet and form a single covalent bond)

H - H

I guess this is Sigma bond ...but i am not sure.. but this all is in higher classes Sigma bonds , orbitals..etc.
