No, the bonding is ionic- electrons are transferred to form ions Ca2+ and Cl-
An atom in a compound sharing electrons with another atom or atoms is participating in a bond or could be said to be bonded, or bound. In somewhat simplistic terms it would be considered a covalent bond; in reality, bonds of this kind are on a continuous scale with an ionic-like bond at one end and a covalent at the other, wherein the more it shares electrons the more it is characterized as covalent.
"Shares electrons" is a characteristic of covalent bonds, which form covalent compounds.
a compound that is composed of two elements. Made from two nonmetals Compounds that share electrons
Covalent compounds are a type of compound where two nonmetals combine, by sharing electrons. For nonmetals to become stable they usually require 1,2 or 3 more electrons. Hence when two nonmetals combine, they can share electrons. For example the covalent compound Carbon Dioxide has a formula of CO2 that is 1 carbon and two oxygen atoms. Carbon needs 4 more electrons while oxygen only needs two more. Hence each oxygen forms a double covalent bond with the central carbon. The each oxygen atom shares two of its electrons with carbon and carbon shares two of its electrons with each oxygen
Mercury easily shares its valence electrons
a covalent bond
Yes, H20 is a covalent compound, therefore it shares electrons when it bonds.

Water is an example of a neutral oxide compound, a compound with simple molecular structure. H2O is a covalent compound. We know that covalent compounds don't gain or loose electrons but they share electrons between the atoms.Hydrogen shares one electron that is in its first shell so 2 hydrogen atoms are required to make a covalent bond with oxygen which shares its 2 electrons each with one hydrogen atom. so the reaction is as follows: H . + ++O++ + . H H2O Here "." are the valence electrons of hydrogen and "+" of oxygen. when oxygen and hydrogen shares its valence electrons with that of oxygen the duplet of hydrogen is complete and octet of oxygen is complete.Note that only one electron of oxygen are shared with each atom of hydrogen. Water is a molecular compound consisting of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Bonds are formed in two ways: Gain or lose an electron from the valence shell; called an ionic attraction. Share one or more electrons in the valence shell; called a covalent bond.
a compound that shares elements with others and is neutral
IT gains, looses, or shares outer electrons.
