What is covalent bonding?
Dear Rebekah
A covalent bond/ molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. The electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs,when they share electrons and hence, is known as covalent bonding.
Example:Covalent bonding between hydrogen atoms: Since each hydrogen atom has one electron, they are able to fill their outermost shells by sharing a pair of electrons through a covalent bond. Thus completing the Duplet rule.
Other Examples include methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), and iodine monobromide (IBr).
