It is formed by a pair of electrons shared between 2 atoms. the nucleus of the atoms attract each other, and 2 atoms share a pair of electrons. This is a single covalent bond.
In a double covalent bond, 2 pairs of electrons are shared between 2 atoms. 3 pairs are shared in triple bonds.

'What involves the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another?
Covalent bonding is the bonding that is required to complete a transfer of an electron from one atom to another.
What atoms share electrons in their outer cell?
Any non-metallic atom can share electrons with another non-metallic atom, through covalent bonding. Metallic bonding is between metals. Covalent bonding is between non-metals. Ionic bonding is typically between a metal and a non-metal.
Is chemical bonding a combination of ionic and covalent bonding?
Yes it is. Ionic bond - by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another Covalent bond - by the sharing of electrons between two atoms
What type of bond is formed in a covalent compound?
the only kind of bonding happens when an electronegative atom (such as aluminum) attracts the electrons of another atom and they combined and form a compound
How does covalent bonding happen?
Covalent bonding happens when an atom (I'm assuming you know the basics of an atom's behaviour) wants an electon in it's shell to give it a noble gas configuration. It therefore shares the electron with another atom that has the same dilemma. They therefore bond with each other as they are sharing an electron.
What is the result of Covalent bonding of one atom to another?
nothing
Covalent bonding of one atom to another is the result of what?
the answer is go to a different site because we DO NOT HAVE IT
'What involves the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another?
Covalent bonding is the bonding that is required to complete a transfer of an electron from one atom to another.
Is covalent and ionic are same?
No, in covalent bonding atoms "share" electrons. In ionic bonding one atom completely takes on or more electrons away from another.
What do you call a bond that forms when electrons are tansferred from one atom to another?
This is a covalent bonding.
What atoms share electrons in their outer cell?
Any non-metallic atom can share electrons with another non-metallic atom, through covalent bonding. Metallic bonding is between metals. Covalent bonding is between non-metals. Ionic bonding is typically between a metal and a non-metal.
When an atom loses or gains an atom its called?
covalent/ionic bonding.

What is the atom the involved in bonding are called?
If the bonding is covalent, then they are just called atoms but when in ionic bonding they are called ions.
When an atom gains or loses electrons it is called an?
covalent/ionic bonding.
