Question

What type of bond is shown below, where electrons are shared between the bonded atoms? A) covalent bond B) ionic bond Eliminate C) hydrogen bond D) cellular bond

Answer 1

The correct answer would be A) covalent bond.

Covalent bond or molecular bond refers to the type of bond in which the electron pair(s) are shared between atoms.

Sharing of electrons enable the two atoms to attain a stable electronic configuration.

For example, in a hydrogen molecule (H₂), each hydrogen atom shares two electrons in order to achieve a stable configuration.
