Sharing of two electrons make a Covalent bond.

Explanation:

Attractions among the atoms bring them together. So the electrons from each of the atoms are attracted towards the nucleus of those two atoms, that “share” the electrons produces a covalent bond.

It is also named as molecular bond, a bond that entails the sharing of a pair of electrons among the atoms. When the atoms share the electrons among themselves, it produces a molecule, which is more stable than the atom.

If the attractions between the atoms are strong enough and if every atom has enough space for the electrons in its outermost energy level then there occurs covalent bonding. So electrons are very important in the covalent bond formation.
