Why does covalent bonding take place?

Covalent bonding occurs when atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This sharing of electrons allows both atoms to fill their outermost energy levels and lower their overall energy, making the arrangement more stable than if the atoms were separate.


How are the electrons of atoms involved when a chemical change takes place?

The Valence electrons of an atom are shared or swapped (depending on whether it is a ionic or covalent bond)


Why covalent bonds are hard to break?

Covalent bonds are hard to break because they involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, creating a strong bond. The electrons are held tightly between the atoms, resulting in a stable molecular structure. Breaking a covalent bond requires significant energy input to overcome the forces holding the shared electrons in place.


How atoms are held in place in a covalent compound?

They are held together by forces. For more info go to bbc bitesize


What is the type of chemical reaction that occurs when 2 atoms are joined by a covalent bond?

The type of chemical reaction that occurs when 2 atoms are joined by a covalent bond is a synthesis reaction. In this reaction, two or more substances combine to form a new compound by sharing electrons between atoms to form the covalent bond.


The electron sharing that takes place in a covalent bond is often represented by...?

a dash or a line between the symbols of the bonded atoms.


Can a change in matter take place without energy being released or absorbed?

No, a change in matter can't take place without energy being released or absorbed? Why? Well, this is because every chemical or physical change in matter includes a change in energy. You can't change matter without a change in energy. Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. Hope you find this helpful. And yes, this answer has been approved by my science teacher.


What type of chemical reaction occurs when electrons are shared?

no chemical reaction takes place . when electrons are shared it is known as covalent bond


How is a covalent bond formed between 2 atoms?

A single covalent bond is formed when two atoms share an electron pair. An example would be 2 hydrogen atoms, each with one electron. When they combine to form a hydrogen molecule (H2), they share the two electrons in a covalent bond. The formula might look like: H. + .H --> H:H


A covalent bond is formed when?

A covalent bond is defined as a chemical bond between two atom or radica.it is formed by the sharing of a pair ,two pairs or three pairs of electron


What energy change takes place in a computer?

electronic energy.


What is a coordinate covalent bond?

A coordinate covalent bond is when two atoms have a covalent bond where the two electrons that are shared by the atoms in the bond come from only one of the atoms. This bond does not have any different properties than a polar covalent bond it is just named differently to show that the electrons came from an atom with a lone pair. This occurs when a Lewis base donates electrons to a Lewis acid.
