If it is a non-metal to non-metal bond than it is covalent. For example, CO2 is a covalent bond.

What holds atom in covalent compound?
Each atom in a covalent bond shares at least one electron with another electron of another atom to maintain the covalent bond.
Electrons transferred from atom to atom?
covalent bond
Is an atom a covalent bond?
No.
What carbon atom forms a covalent bond with nitrogen?
Any carbon atom can form a covalent bond with nitrogen. In hydrogen cyanide, HCN, the carbon atom forms a triple covalent bond with the nitrogen atom. In amino acids, the carbon atom forms a single bond with a nitrogen atom.
What types of bonds hold together a water molecule?
Water has covalent bonds.The bonds between atoms in a water molecule are covalent bond, somewhat polar ones.
What determines the number of covalent bonds formed by an atom?
The number of unpaired electrons determines the number of covalent bonds that can be formed by an atom.
When an atom loses or gains an atom its called?
covalent/ionic bonding.
Can you give a sentence using the word atom?
This atom has a covalent bond.
How many electrons in covalent bonds are attracted to the nucleus of just one atom?
No electrons are "attached" to the nucleus of either atom. In a covalent bond one electron from each atom is shared with the other atom.
How do atoms in a covalent bond know what atom they belong to?
The electrons in the covalent bond know which atom they belong to because the electron is a negative atom so it obviously has to attract to the postive atom - the proton/the opposite.
What type ofchemical bond would you expect between a calcium atom and a chlorine atom a metallic a plar covalent nonpolar covalent or a ionic?
Covalent because its 2 nonmetals bonding
How are covalent bonds and atoms related?
If an atom reacts with another atom, one electron from the first atom is shared with the second atom. Since this electron is being shared, it spends some of its time orbiting the first atom and some of its time orbiting the second atom. At the same time, one electron from the second oxygen atom is shared with the first oxygen atom and spends time orbiting each atom. This pairing of the electrons forms covalent bonds. Covalent bonding forms covalent compounds. Water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen atoms,which bond together in covalent bonds to form water molecules.
