Covalent bonding

Covalent bonding is the sharing of electrons between two atoms

Atoms that are likely to share electrons form covalent compounds and covalent compounds have certain unique characteristics which are ;

  • low melting point
  • poor conductors
  • low boiling point
  • low solubility in water

The number of ions in the outermost shell/circle of an atom determines the ability of an atom to either share or transfer its ions to another atom. The purple circle having 7 small green spheres will share its electrons with other atoms to achieve the octet state.
