Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, allowing them to achieve a more stable electron configuration. This sharing can lead to a full outer shell of electrons, similar to the electron configurations of noble gases, which are inherently stable due to having complete valence shells. Thus, covalent compounds can mimic the noble gas status by effectively "filling" their outer electron shells through bonding. This stability is a key reason why covalent bonds form, as atoms strive to attain a noble gas-like configuration.

Why do atoms share electron's in covalent bonds?
the purpose of covalent bonding is to attain a noble gas configuration
What type of bond if formed when electrons are shared?
Covalent bonding. It can be two types - polar covalent or nonpolar covalent. In polar covalent bonding, atoms do not share electrons equally. In nonpolar covalent bonding, atoms share electrons equally.
What kind of bonding is noble gases and metals?
Noble gases typically do not form bonds with metals. They have full valence shells, making them very stable and unreactive. Metals tend to form bonds with nonmetals to achieve a stable electron configuration through ionic or covalent bonding.
What bonding is Ag-Cl?
You can mix them together (alloying) but these noble metals do NOT react, thus no bond is made
Why are the physical properties of the noble gases similar to those of covalent molecular substances?
The physical properties of noble gases are similar to those of covalent molecular substances because both have weak intermolecular forces between their particles. Noble gases exhibit London dispersion forces due to temporary dipoles, while covalent molecules share electrons through covalent bonds, resulting in weak forces of attraction between molecules.

Is argon covalent or ionic bonding?
Argon does not participate in covalent or ionic bonding. It is a noble gas with a full outer electron shell, making it stable and unreactive.

What class of elements tends to be involve in covalent bonding?
Nonmetals tend to form covalent bonds when reacting with one another. In covalent bonding, the atoms share valence electrons so that each atom will have a noble gas configuration of electrons, called an octet (8 electrons), except for hydrogen, which bonds to obtain the noble gas configuration of helium, which has 2 valence electrons.

What are the two ways elements bond?
Elements , with the exception of the noble gases which are monoatomic, are either covalent (solids eg diamond, liquid, bromine, gases, e.g. oxygen and nitrogen ) or metals and therefore element's contain covalent or metallic bonds.
How does covalent bonding happen?
Covalent bonding happens when an atom (I'm assuming you know the basics of an atom's behaviour) wants an electon in it's shell to give it a noble gas configuration. It therefore shares the electron with another atom that has the same dilemma. They therefore bond with each other as they are sharing an electron.
How do atoms achieve noble gas configurations in single covalent bonds?
Atoms achieve noble gas configurations in single covalent bonds by sharing electrons between them, forming a stable electron configuration similar to a noble gas. This sharing allows both atoms to attain a full outer shell of electrons, satisfying the octet rule.
Is noble gases covalent?
Noble gases typically do not form covalent bonds because they have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unreactive. However, under extreme conditions such as high pressure or temperature, noble gases can form covalent compounds with highly reactive elements.
