Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Covalent bond formation occurs when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons with each other. This sharing allows both atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration in their outermost energy levels. Donating or receiving electrons would result in the formation of ionic bonds, while sharing neutrons or donating protons is not involved in bond formation.
