When atoms share electrons in one or more pairs, they form a new compound by covalent bonding.
They form molecules.
(non-ionic by sharing electrons, ionic by transferring el's)
molecules
an element
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
molecules
That is a covalent bond.
this would be valence electrons
Atoms share electrons when they form covalent bonds.
covalent bonds
No. When atoms share electron pairs they form covalent bonds. Isotopes are atoms having different numbers of neutrons.
That type of bond is called "covalent" since they share the electons in their valence shells.

They share electrons to form a chemical bond.
Covalent bonds, (single, double, triple)
Atoms undergo chemical bonding in order to achieve stable valence shells. In order for oxygen atoms to accomplish this when they bond together, they share two pairs of valence electrons, which is a double bond.
