Covalent bonds
by sharing their electron shells
Electron sharing in covalent bonds leads to the formation of a stable molecule. Both atoms contribute electrons to the bond, creating a shared electron cloud that holds the atoms together. This sharing allows both atoms to attain a more stable electron configuration, usually achieving a full outer shell.
Atoms can achieve stability after ionic bonding by transferring or sharing electrons to attain a full outer electron shell. This process allows the atoms to reach a more stable electron configuration similar to that of noble gases.
Neutral particles formed as a result of electron sharing are called molecules. Molecules are made up of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds, where electrons are shared between the atoms. This sharing of electrons allows the atoms to achieve stable electron configurations.
A polar covalent bond has two atoms sharing an electron unequally. This occurs when the atoms have different electronegativities, causing one atom to pull the shared electron closer to itself, creating a partial positive and partial negative charge on the atoms.

It is a covalent bond.
Four chlorine atoms are needed to form a covalent compound with carbon by sharing electrons. Carbon can form four covalent bonds, so it can share one electron with each of the four chlorine atoms to achieve a stable octet electron configuration.
