Question

Covalent bonds form between what types of elements

Answer 1

Answer:

Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals.

In Covalent bond elements share their electrons.

Answer 2

Covalent bonds form between non metallic elements having similar or nearly similar electro negativities.

• this was suggested by G.N. Lewis
• these elements combine together to achieve the nearest inert gas electronic configuration by sharing of electron(s)
• this type of bond is formed by mutual sharing of electrons
• examples of electrovalent compound are sodium chloride (NaCl)
• NaCl is formed by the mutual sharing of electrons between sodium and chlorine in order to reach the nearest inert gas configuration.
• Na shares one electron and Cl shares two electrons forming a covalent bond.
• again, NaCl is a non metallic element.
