when atoms share electrons, the positive nucleus of each atom is attracted to the shared negative electrons. the pull between the positive and negative charges is the force that keeps these atoms joined......hope this hepls :)
It is used to form molecules and various compounds. In fact, most of the bonds are covalent bonds.
As a nonmetal carbon forms covalent bonds.
2 covalent bonds
Sulfur will form covalent bonds with itself and other nonmetals, but will form ionic bonds with most metals.
Yes, nitrogen can form three covalent bonds. It has five valence electrons, three of which are unpaired. The three unpaired electrons can form covalent bonds.

no. they form ionic bonds.
Covalent bonds

Carbon will almost always form bonds with other carbon atoms, and that is part of what makes it such a useful element.

Carbon will form four covalent bonds, nitrogen will form three covalent bonds, oxygen will form two covalent bonds, and hydrogen will form one covalent bond. Click on the related link to see a diagram showing the structure of an amino acid.
No, it forms only ionic bonds. Covalent bonds are only formed between non-metals, although a few metals, such as Aluminum, can also form covalent bonds with non-metals.
It has 5 valence electrons and can easily form 5 covalent bonds.
