Question

The maximum number of covalent bonds by which the two atoms can be bonded to each other is

Answer 1

it is a special type of covalent bond between two atoms by which the atom which is more electronegative attracts more electrons from the bonded pair than the other atom.

Answer 2

Answer:

The maximum number of covalent bonds between two atoms is 3.

Explanation:

Covalent bonds are formed when the electrons are mutually shared among the bonded atoms. The compound bearing covalent bonds have low melting and boiling point  as covalent bonds have weaker strength. Any atom has a maximum tendency to either lose or gain three electrons when they are forming a compound. Making another covalent bond would require a tremendous amount of energy which is not possible. Therefore, only three pairs of electrons are shared and maximum three covalent bonds are possible between two atoms.
