Atoms share electrons when they are in a covalent bond. A covalent bond occurs between two nonmetals that have a difference in electronegativities that is 1.7 or less.
apex Compounds made from two nonmetals Sharing of 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
A covalent bond is a bond that forms between two nonmetals in which the atoms share electrons in order for them both to have a perfect octet of valence electrons. It is the strongest type of intramolecular bond.
No. The electronegativity variance is not great enough between nonmetals, so they do not donate or accept electrons, but they share electrons in their combined valance shells. Some time unequally, so you have polar covalent bonds.

Covalent bond
no its an ionic bond(where elements lose or gain electrons) since the bond is between a nonmetal(sulfur) and a metal(calcium). Covalent bond is between two nonmetals that share electrons
