Yes sometimes, that is how covalent bonds are formed.
In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between atoms to form a stable molecule. These shared electrons move between the nuclei of the bonded atoms, creating a strong bond that holds the atoms together. The shared electrons are attracted to both nuclei, thus keeping the atoms in close proximity to each other.
A hydrogen molecule is held together by a covalent bond, where the two hydrogen atoms share their electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration. This shared pair of electrons creates a bond that keeps the atoms together.
The two atoms share their electrons - so it is a covalent bond ie a shared pair.
A molecule is the neutral particle formed when electrons are shared between atoms. The charge is neutral when electrons are shared, negative when they gain electrons, and positive when they lose electrons.
No, if electrons are shared equally between atoms in a molecule, the molecule is said to be nonpolar. A polar molecule occurs when there is an uneven distribution of electrons, leading to regions of partial positive and negative charges.

The atom with the greater attraction for shared electrons in the molecule is the more electronegative atom.

The term for valence electrons in a molecule that are not shared is "nonbonding electrons" or "lone pair electrons". These electrons are not involved in chemical bonding and are typically found on atoms that have not formed any bonds with other atoms.
A molecule is the neutral particle formed when electrons are shared between atoms. The charge is neutral when electrons are shared, negative when they gain electrons, and positive when they lose electrons.
A nonpolar molecule is formed when all atoms in a molecule have an equal attraction to the shared electrons. This means there is no separation of charge, resulting in no net dipole moment within the molecule.
Metals form what is known as a metallic bond. It is somewhat similar to a covalent bond in that the electrons are shared, however, in a covalent bond the electrons are shared by a single molecule, and in a metallic bond, the electrons are shared by all the metallic atoms in that particular object.
Electrostatic attraction for electron pairs hold atoms together. When atoms bond into a molecule, they share electrons, each contributing one electron to a pair. Since the nuclei of the atoms are positive and the electrons are negative, both nuclei are attracted to the shared pair, and stay near each other.
No, if electrons are shared equally between atoms in a molecule, the molecule is said to be nonpolar. A polar molecule occurs when there is an uneven distribution of electrons, leading to regions of partial positive and negative charges.
The force that holds atoms together in a molecule is called a chemical bond. It can be either ionic or covalent, depending on how electrons are shared or transferred between atoms.
