It is a overlap of wavefunctions of the electrons.
Covalent bonding occurs between two atoms that are both non metals
The question is probably more "Which elements form covalent bonds?" Ionic bonds are between a metal and a non-metal. COVALENT bonds are between two non-metals.
No, salt is formed through ionic bonding. Ionic bonding occurs between a metal and a nonmetal, while covalent bonding occurs between two nonmetals. In the case of salt (sodium chloride), sodium is a metal and chlorine is a nonmetal.
Bonds between non metal elements are usually covalent.
gases usually show covalent bonding with weak intermolecular forces that comprehends its physical state of a "gas" which in latin means chaos.
There are two basic types of chemical bonding: Ionic bonding and Covalent bonding. Ionic bonding occurs between a metal and a non-metal (i.e. Na + Cl --> NaCl) Covalent bonding occurs between two non-metals (i.e. H2 + O2 --> 2H2O)
Covalent bonding
Covalent Bonding
Ionic bonding occurs between a metal and a nonmetal whereas covalent bonding occurs between two nonmetals.
Diatomic hydrogen is held together by a single non-polar covalent bond.

H2. The hydrogen atoms share the two electrons via covalent bonding. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covalent_bond

These bonds are covalent.
Covalent bonding occurs between the carbon and chlorine atoms in a CCl4 molecule. This type of bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration.
