Covalent Bonding Concepts

What is the fundamental process by which elements form covalent bonds?

• Transferring valence electrons from one atom to another.

• Sharing valence electrons between two or more atoms.

• Gaining additional electrons to achieve stability.

• Losing valence electrons to become positively charged ions.

• One

• Two

• Seven

• Eight
