Covalent Bonds

How do covalent bonds form?

• Donating & receiving valence electrons between atoms

• Oppositely charged ions attract each other & form bonds

• Scientists are still not sure how they form

• Sharing valence electrons between atoms

The formation of a covalent bond relies on the interaction or bonding of...
