Covalent bonding is when 2 atoms, usually non-metals, bond together by sharing electrons with one another.

For example, in oxygen gas, one oxygen atom will share 2 electrons with the other so that both atoms can achieve the octet structure.

What is a phrase applies to covalent bonding and not other kind of bonding?

In covalent bonding, atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer shell. This contrasts with ionic bonding, where electrons are transferred. One phrase specific to covalent bonding is "electron sharing."


What is a simile for chemical bond?

It depends really which kind of bonding you're talking about. If your talking about ionic, covalent and hydrogen bonds here are some examples but don't exactly use these: Ionic Bonding An ionic bond is like a boy and girl. Covalent Bonding A covalent bond is like playing with a ball. Hydrogen Bonding Hydrogen Bonding is like picking lab partners. -From a fellow student working on the output on 14L.......


Are the compounds oxygen and carbon bonded by ionic bonding or covalent bonding?

Oxygen and carbon are bonded by covalent bonding when they form compounds. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons between atoms, while covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. In the case of oxygen and carbon, they typically share electrons to form covalent bonds in molecules like carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide.
