explain by giving examples.
One more question.
when two non metals share electrons then how do the shared electrons revolve around the both non metals?
i will be thankful to u all for giving me ur precious time.

An atom of Sodium losses an electron to an atom of Chlorine. The sodium is now positively charged and the Chlorine is negatively charged, Na+ and Cl-. The now attach to each other by electrostatic attraction.
The two non-metals share electrons. An atom of Hydrogen and an atom of Chlorine share one electron each to form a bond. The electron pair spends most of its time in between the two atoms. it is represented usually by a straight line between the symbols of the two atoms.
H-Cl

that's how you get salts and ionic bonds.
Na-Cl you get Na+ attracted to Cl- and vice versa.
in the second you get bonding. the electron are in the newly formed bonds.
If you read a General Chemistry text you'd be able to figure this out on your own. If you can't understand it go talk to the prof or your TA

The same way opposites attract.
For the second question, it's like 2 peas in a pod.

They bond the same way a magnets are attracted to each other. On ion is + and the other is - so they attract
