Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms from "summary" of Chemistry Simplified NCERT Class 11 by Sanjay Sharma
When two atoms come close to each other, they may form a bond by sharing their electrons. This sharing of electrons is known as a covalent bond. In a covalent bond, the atoms involved share one or more pairs of electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration. Typically, this involves non-metal atoms that have high electronegativity values.
The shared electrons move in the space around both nuclei, creating a region of electron density that holds the atoms together. This shared region is known as a bonding pair of electrons. Each atom also retains its own set of non-bonding electrons, known as lone pairs. These lone pairs may also contribute to the ...
