When two atoms combine by sharing electrons, it is a(n) _____ bond.
A) Ionic
B) Covalent
Answer (3)
When two atoms combine by sharing electrons, thereby forming a strong bond of the same or different elements, it is known as a covalent bond . This method is distinct from ionic bonding, which involves the transfer of electrons. Covalent bonds lead to the formation of stable molecules such as hydrogen gas (H-H), where atoms share electrons and thereby complete their valence shells. therefore,option b is correct ;
When two atoms combine by sharing electrons, it forms a Covalent bond. On the contrary, Ionic bond involves a complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another** resulting in oppositely charged ions.** ;
The bond formed when two atoms share electrons is called a covalent bond. This type of bond is different from ionic bonds, where electrons are transferred between atoms. Hence, the correct choice is B) Covalent .
