Metallic Bond

A better example is the covalent bond, even though electrons are also shared in metallic bonds. Metals do not control their shared electrons well, and the electrons move around easily - thus electrical conductivity. In covalent bonds, the electrons are held very tightly, and the sharing is well defined.

What are chemical bonds that share electrons between atoms?

Covalent bonds are chemical bonds where atoms share electrons. This sharing of electrons allows atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration. Covalent bonds can form between two nonmetals or a nonmetal and a metalloid.


What type of bond do atoms share electrons?

Atoms share electrons in a covalent bond. In a covalent bond, two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration. This sharing of electrons creates a strong bond between the atoms.


How are atoms in a compound held together?

Atoms in a compound are held together by chemical bonds, which are formed when atoms share or transfer electrons to achieve a stable configuration. These bonds can be covalent, where atoms share electrons, or ionic, where electrons are transferred between atoms.
