Question

why do atoms in covalent bonds share electrons

Answer 1

Answer:

Basically, atoms share their outer electrons to the other atoms in order to get more stability.

But covalent bond occurs only when atoms share their outer electrons.

Atoms always tried to become stable by filling the outer electron shell.

The main reason for atoms in covalent bond share electron is to gain more stability.

Answer 2

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.
