Chemistry Covalent Bonds

How do covalent bonds form?

• Donating & receiving valence e- between atoms.
• Opposite slight charges attract each other between compounds.
• Scientists are still not sure how they form.
• Sharing valence e- between atoms.

Which of the following describes the strength of a covalent bond?

• Middle - Each atom shares an octet
• Middle - One atom gains an octet & the other loses.
• Weakest - it only forms because of another bond forming
