An atom in a compound sharing electrons with another atom or atoms is participating in a bond or could be said to be bonded, or bound. In somewhat simplistic terms it would be considered a covalent bond; in reality, bonds of this kind are on a continuous scale with an ionic-like bond at one end and a covalent at the other, wherein the more it shares electrons the more it is characterized as covalent.

A measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons from another atom in the compound is called what?
Conductivity
Give an example of a covalent compound?
hydrogen molecule (H2) : is single covalent bond where each H atom shares with one electron to complete it's outermost shell (k level) with two electrons and becomes more stable.oxygen molecule (O2) : is a double covalent bond where each (O) atom shares with two electrons to complete its outermost shell (L level) with 8 electrons.nitrogen molecule:is a triple covalent bond where each atom shares with 3 electrons to complete its outermost shell (L level) with 8 electrons and become more stable.
When an atom combines chemically with another atom it either gains loses or share what?
It either gains, loses, or shares electrons.
Does CaCl2 represent a compound that primarily shares electrons?
No, the bonding is ionic- electrons are transferred to form ions Ca2+ and Cl-

What type of bond occurs when an atom shares on or more pairs of electrons with another atom?
covalent
Is formed when an atom shares electrons?
This is a molecule having a covalent bond.
Does h2o share electrons?
Yes, H20 is a covalent compound, therefore it shares electrons when it bonds.
