Six electrons (three pairs) are shared between two atoms that form a triple 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.
When two atoms share electrons, the shared pair of electrons form a chemical bond called a covalent bond.
The outer shell electrons of the atom form covalent bonds.

true
no
true ^_^ i have the same assignment for my class
Valence electrons
covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared between atoms.
Electrons are shared or swapped between 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.
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.
electorons are shared in covalent compounds, because covalent compounds occur between nonmetals elements.
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.
