The atoms retain all of their physical properties (i.e. mass, density, etc.) except when a covalent bond occurs, electrons are involved. The two atoms that form a covalent bond (usually C, N, O, F, S) will each share the electrons that are currently available in their valence shell (the outer shell, usually P orbital).

What is a double covalent bond and what happens in it?
a covalent bond in which two atoms share two pairs of electrons.
As the difference in electronegativity between two atoms decreases the tendency for the formation of covalent bond?
remains the same
What happens in the process of covalent bonding?
electrons are shared between one or more atoms.
What is the formation of covalent bonding?
If you mean what does it look like? That depends on the atoms involved. If you mean what is meant by covalent bond? That means that the two atoms share electrons so that each acts more complete.
What happens with electrons in a non polar covalent bond?
Electrons are shared equally by two atoms.
Occurs when there is an equal sharing of electrons between atoms?
formation of a covalent bond
In electron transfer involving a metallic atom and nonmetallic atom during ion formation what happens to the atoms?
both atoms gain electrons
What happens to the atoms in substances when a chemical rection occures?
Bonds are broken between the atoms of the reactants, and new bonds are formed during the formation of the products.
What happens when oxygen atoms electrons?

What happens two electrons when atoms share covalent bond?
They are shared by the valence shells of the atoms involved in the bond.
