What is covalent bonding?

Answer 1

A Covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, and other covalent bonds. In short, the attraction-to-repulsion stability that forms between atoms when they share electrons is known as covalent bonding.

Answer 2

Covalently bonded simply means that two or more atoms are sharing electrons amongst themselves so they balance the number of electrons in their outermost shells forming bonds.

It is similar for ionic bonds where they need to balance their outermost shells however in that situation they completely donate and receive electrons causing a change in the electrical polarity becoming ions where some are positive and others are negative and due to opposite attraction come together and bond.

Answer 3

A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. The stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms when they share electrons is known as covalent bonding.

Answer 4

Covalent bond is forms when electrons are shared between atoms

Answer 5

Covalent bonding occurs between two or more non-metals. two positive nuclei are held together by their strong force of attraction for a shared pair of electrons.
