Colvalent bonds can best be described as a donating of electrons?
Griceldamacias
There are two ways to answer this. The first way would be for a person who is not very familiar with chemistry, and the second for someone who is.
First description: A covalent bond can be best described as a bond between to atoms which share electrons. This is different from ionic bonds where electrons are taken from one atom and placed onto another.
Second description: A covalent bond is an overlap of electron densities of same sign or potentialities (two bonding orbitals as opposed to antibonding) , which can be described by their orbital wavefunctions.
I hope one of these answers suits you.

In terms of chemical bonds and electrons what kinds of changes occur between atoms when substances undergo chemical reactions?
Bonds are broken by rearrangement of electrons, and then new bonds are made, again by rearrangement (sharing, donating, etc) of electrons.
Covalent bonds can best be described as a of electrons.?
As a sharing
What best describes a metal solid?
Metal atoms held togehter by colvalent bonds
What is the shape of metallic bonds?
Metallic bonds don't really have a shape. They are sometimes described as a cloud or sea of electrons.
Covalent bonds can best be described as a what of electronts?
The sharing of electrons between atoms
How do atoms interact and create chemical bonds?
Chemical bonds are formed by the sharing or donating of electrons. The electrons that atoms use to make chemical bonds are the outermost electrons, also known as valence electrons.

What is the diffrencees between a colvalent bond and ionic bond?
the difference is thatcovelent bonds share electrons, thus creating bonds, the only reason they share electrons so that they can get full outer shells. Ionic bonds like....They bond between two different things, like a non metal, and a metal

What is the diffirence between ionic and covalent bonds?
ionic bonds are metal/non-metal while covalent bonds are non-metal/non-metal ionic bonds involve donating of electrons from one molecule to the other, whereas covalent bonds involve sharing of electrons between the 2 molecules.

Metallic bonds don't really have a shape. They are sometimes described as a cloud or sea of electrons.
Covalent bonds can best be described as a what of electronts?
The sharing of electrons between atoms
Are the colvalent bonds that hold nucleotide chains of DNA together polar or non polar?
nonpolar
Concalent bonds can best be described as a sharing of electrons true or false?
There are two types of chemical bonds, covalent and ionic. Ionic involve the complete transfer of electrons and covalent involve the sharing of electrons.
Covalent bonds are best described as a donation swapping loss or sharing of electrons?
sharing
