They achieve noble gas configuration by the sharing of electrons.
Covalent bonds
When two oxygen atoms merge, they form a covalent bond. In a covalent bond, the atoms share electrons to complete their outer electron shells. This allows both atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
In a molecule of oxygen, the two atoms of oxygen are bonded to each other by covalent bonding. The two atoms of oxygen share their two valence electrons and achieve stable electronic configuration.
the purpose of covalent bonding is to attain a noble gas configuration
They achieve the electron configuration of a noble gas.
They usually achieve "Noble Gas" configuration
They achieve noble gas configuration by the sharing of electrons.
Covalent bonds
the presence or absence of double bonds between the carbon atom and other atoms
Molecules formed by covalent bonding include water (H₂O), methane (CH₄), and oxygen (O₂), where atoms share electrons to achieve a stable configuration.
H2O has a covalent bond between Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms. They share electrons and hence achieve noble gas configuration. The covalent bond present is a polar bond.
