Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Covalent bonds occur between two nonmetals and involve the sharing of electrons between the atoms in order to achieve a more stable electron configuration. This results in the formation of molecules rather than ions, which is the case with ionic bonds. Metallic bonds occur between metal atoms, while "municipal" is not a valid type of chemical bond.
