Question

Explain covalent bonds

Answer 1

The electrons shared between two atoms belongs to both the atoms and the sharing of electrons between them leads to the formation of a chemical bond known as covalent bond...G.N lewis (1916) proposed that atoms of some elements could achieve an octet in their valence shell without transfer of electrons between them. They can attain octet configuration in their valence shells by sharing the valence electrons with one or more atoms....

Answer 2

Sharing of electrons between two or more atoms to achieve the nearest noble gas configuration leads to the formation of a chemical bond known as covalent bond.
