In covalent bonds, no electrons are obtained or released. They share the bonding electrons.
j
"Shares electrons" is a characteristic of covalent bonds, which form covalent compounds.
covalent bonds and molecular solids are characteristic of organic compounds
It is the result of a SHARING of electrons (not transfer of electrons).
CF4 is a covalent bond, because both elements are "nonmetals"

"Shares electrons" is a characteristic of covalent bonds, which form covalent compounds.
covalent bonds and molecular solids are characteristic of organic compounds
This is a characteristic of a polar covalent bond.
It is the result of a SHARING of electrons (not transfer of electrons).
CF4 is a covalent bond, because both elements are "nonmetals"
Covalent Bonds
The number of electrons in the atoms outer shell.
Electrons are shared between two different nuclei.
Carbon can atoms can form four covalent bonds with many, many different elements.
they all tend to form multiple covalent bonds
