"Molecules"
They share electrons to form a chemical bond.
Atoms share electrons when they form covalent bonds.
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
To form a molecule, atoms can share, lose, and gain electrons
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons
Atoms involved in covalent bonding are called covalently bonded atoms. They share pairs of electrons to form stable molecules.
A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share electrons to form a molecule. This type of bond is characterized by the sharing of electrons between atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration for both atoms.
valence electrons
When atoms share electrons, they form a chemical bond, or covalent bond.
Atoms share electrons when they form covalent bonds.
Atoms can form chemical bonds when they share electrons. This is called covalent bonding.also if electrons are transferred,ionic bond,if an electron is donated it is a co-ordinate bond.
When forming compounds, metal atoms usually donate some of their electrons to atoms of more electronegative elements to form compounds with ionic bonds. some metals can share electrons with other elements to form at least partially covalently bonded compounds. In elemental form, metal atoms share their electrons in what is called a "sea of electrons" that extends throughout the volume of a piece of elemental metal.
