covalent
covalant
It gains three, loses five, or shares pairs of electrons
neutrons and protons, and neutrons and electrons
In NF3, the Nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons and each Fluorine atom shares 1 more electron with Nitrogen. That makes 8 electrons (4 pairs of electrons) around Nitrogen. Betweent the four electron pairs, 3 pairs are bonded with Fluorine and the other one is a lone pair. Therefore around the central atom Nitrogen, there are three Fluorine atoms and a lone electron pair.
Two atoms sharing three pairs of electrons have a triple bond.

Lone-pair electrons, Bonded pairs of electrons
O2 shares two electron pairs, giving both oxygen atoms 8 electrons on the outer shell (noble gas configuration).
It gains three, loses five, or shares pairs of electrons
Covalent bonding occurs when atoms share two or more electrons. Electrons are shared in pairs.
A double covalent bond occurs when atoms share two pairs of electrons.
A double covalent bond occurs when atoms share two pairs of electrons.
A covalent bond occurs when atoms share electrons.
Forms when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons. Water is the most popular covalent bond. Oxygen shares two of hydrogens electrons. H(subscript)2O
