Covalent bonds involve
1. electrostatic forces.
2. different charges.
3. a sharing of electrons.
4. a transfer of electrons.

Answer 1

3. a sharing of electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

A covalent bond consists of the mutual sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms. A covalent bond forms when the difference between the electronegativities of two atoms is too small for an electron transfer to occur to form ions. In other words, it does not involve ions.
