Covalent Bond

A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond formed when two or more atoms share electrons to achieve a stable outer energy level. Unlike ionic bonds, where electrons are transferred between atoms, covalent bonds involve the equal or unequal sharing of electrons. Covalent bonds typic...

A covalent bond is the force that holds two atoms together when they share valence electrons. This sharing gives each atom a stable outer energy level.

Covalent bonds occur only between nonmetals, like oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen.

Molecules like water, oxygen, and sugar are examples of substances formed by covalent bonds.
