  • Question
  • Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are


  • Options
  • A. Transfer of electrons
  • B. Sharing of electrons
  • C. Dividing of electrons
  • D. All of the above

  • Correct Answer
  • Sharing of electrons 

    Explanation

    Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outer most (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability.

     

    Examples of compounds with covalent bonds ::

    HCl, CO2, O2,...
