Question

what is the meaning ofcovalent bond?

Answer 1

the chemical bond formed between two atoms when they share electrons in pairs, so that each atom provides half the electrons.

Answer 2

$\textbf{COVALENT BOND}$

The sharing of atoms one or more pair of Valence Electrons is known as covalent bond.

★ CARBON ALWAYS FORMS COVALENT BOND.

The atomic number of carbon is 6 which means that a neutral atom of carbon content 6 electrons.

So, the electronic configuration of carbon is K(2) L(4) .

It is clear that carbon has 4 electrons in the outermost shell of its atom.

So, it is not possible to remove for electrons from A carbon atom and also not possible to add as many as 4 electrons to carbon atom.

Since carbon atoms can achieve the inert gas electron arrangement only by the sharing of electrons therefore carbon always forms covalent bond.
