Electrons in covalent orbits have a looser attraction to their nucleus than electrons in tighter orbits. This allows them to wander away from their host easier. When another like atom drifts into close proximity, the covalent electrons can drift into orbit around the neighbor, and back to its original host. This creates the "Covalent Bond" between the neighboring atoms. This drifting between atoms creates a form of molecular stability.
