Explanation:

When a chemical bond is formed by sharing of electrons then it is known as a covalent bond.

A covalent bond is always formed between two non-metals.

For example, atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.

As a result, it needs one more electron to complete its octet. So, when it chemically combines with another chlorine atom then there will occur sharing of electrons.

Hence, Cl_{2} is formed which is a covalent compound.

On the other hand, when a chemical bond is formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another then it is known as an ionic bond. An ionic bond is always formed between a metal and a non-metal.

For example, LiCl is an ionic compound.

Thus, we can conclude that in a chlorine gas covalent bonding is present when two chlorine atoms share an electron.

DiKsa [7]
The answer is 3/4.

The coefficient next to each reactant represents the amount of moles. The compound for oxygen is O2 and the compound for aluminum is 4. We can see that the number next to O2 is 3 and the number next to aluminum is 4.
