How many electrons would carbon have to gain to form a covalent bond?

Carbon atoms do not gain electrons to form a covalent bond. Carbon atoms form four covalent bonds by sharing its four valence electrons with the valence electrons of other atoms. These can be single bonds, in which one pair of electrons is shared; double bonds, in which two pairs of electrons are shared; or triple bonds, in which three electrons are shared; or a combination of these.


How does a covalent bond form between two atoms?

There are two types of bonds between atoms, ionic and covalent bonds. An ionic bond is where an atom takes electrons away from another atom and a covalent bond is where electrons are shared between two atoms.


Why are electrons shared in covalent compounds?

electorons are shared in covalent compounds, because covalent compounds occur between nonmetals elements.


Are electrons shared between atoms in a covalent bond?

Yes. To form 8 electrons in their outer shell (or 2, if they only have one shell), some atoms share electrons, instead of gaining or losing them to others.
