Covalent bond :)
Oxygen molecule (O2) is composed of 2 atoms and shares 6 electrons through a double bond.

It gains three, loses five, or shares pairs of electrons
In CH2O, there are a total of 12 valence electrons. Carbon shares 4 electrons, each hydrogen shares 1 electron, and oxygen shares 2 electrons. Therefore, a total of 10 electrons are being shared in CH2O.
mw2 rules
Hydrogen atoms share electrons in a covalent bond.
When a compound shares electrons, it is called covalent bonding. In a covalent bond, atoms share pairs of electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration.
I could go into great detail about electrons, protons, and neutrons, but to someone who doesn't understand, it'll just look like a totally different language. So I'll simply say it all depends on the atoms and what compound they're creating.Atoms that are less stable as a compound: Nitrogen, Gold, Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xeon, Radon.Atoms that are more stable as a compound: everything else.
The total number of shared electrons in a molecule of CH2O (formal charge -2) is 18. Each hydrogen atom shares 1 electron, each carbon atom shares 4 electrons, and the oxygen atom shares 6 electrons, adding up to a total of 18 shared electrons.
Hydrogen shares its electrons to complete the octate so it gains 1 electrons. it can also its electrons.
Eight. Oxygen has 6 electrons and shares two more with the hydrogen atoms in covalent bonds
Yes, H20 is a covalent compound, therefore it shares electrons when it bonds.
The atomic number (number of protons) is identical.
