Electronegativity is the attraction of an atom for the shared pairs of electrons.
Yes, when atoms share electrons to form a compound, it is called a covalent bond. This bond is a physical connection between the atoms that results from the sharing of electrons in their outer energy levels.
Electronegativity. It is a measure of an atom's ability to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself in a covalent bond.
Electronegativity. It is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond.
In covalent bonds, electrons are shared between atoms. This sharing of electrons allows for the formation of stable molecules by bringing atoms together through the attraction of their positively charged nuclei for the negatively charged electrons.
A bond where electrons are shared is known as a covelent bond. If the electrons are shared evenly (such as Cl2) it is a non polar covelent bond. If one atom has a slightly stronger pull because of a higher elctronegativity value (such as H2O) it is a polar covelent bond. Ionic bonds are when electrons are taken leaving a positive and negative ion.
The atom with the greater attraction for shared electrons in the molecule is the more electronegative atom.
Sharing of electrons between two atoms is called covalent bonding.

when compared to oxygen, fluorine has greater electronegativity (greater attraction for shared pair of electrons).

Chemical bonds are what form molecules from constituent atoms. When atoms share electrons the type of inter-molecular attraction is called a covalent bond.
When electrons are shared between atoms, the nuclei of both atoms experience attraction towards the electrons and vice versa. At a certain distance, the attraction is maximal because the repulsion between the nuclei is small while the attraction of each nuclei to the electrons is strong. Thus, the atoms are held together by their attraction to the shared electrons.
