A covalent bond is characterized by atoms sharing pairs of electrons. For example:

CH4 is a covalent bond. Carbon has 4 valance electrons and hydrogen has 1.

Therefore, the electrons will be shared as seen in the Lewis structure of CH4 . Unfortunately, I cannot draw it here, but you can look it up online.

What are the similar  between ionic and covalent bonding?

Ionic and covalent bonding involve electrons. Ionic bonding involves the loss and gain of electrons, form ions. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.


How do you compare ionic and covalent bonding?

Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons.


What are the uses of a covalent bonding?

covalent bonding is used to share electrons


What is the type of bonding called When electrons are shared?

covalent bonds


What type of bonding is formed when atoms share electrons?

Covalent bonding is formed when atoms share electrons. In this type of bonding, atoms share one or more pairs of electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration.


When electrons are shared the bonding is?

This is a covalent bond.


What is a phrase applies to covalent bonding and not other kind of bonding?

In covalent bonding, atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer shell. This contrasts with ionic bonding, where electrons are transferred. One phrase specific to covalent bonding is "electron sharing."


How many electrons are available in Nitrogen for covalent bonding?

Nitrogen has 5 electrons available for covalent bonding. It has 5 electrons in its outer shell, meaning it can form stable covalent bonds by sharing these electrons with other atoms.


In the process of covalent bonding?

electrons are shared between one or more atoms


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 is the chemical bond resulting from the sharing of valence electrons by two atoms?

The simple answer is a Covalent bond. Polar covalent bonds have an unequal sharing. Pi bonds, which also involve can lead to a delocalisation of the electron pair. Multicentre bonds such as the so-called banana bond in diboarne has a pair shared across a B-H-B bridge.


Bonding that involves sharing of electrons within a molecule is called?
