Covalent bonds are formed when 2 neutral atoms come together to share a pair of electrons, where each atom contributes one electron each to be shared.

The covalent bond is kept together by the electrostatic attraction between the nuclei of the atoms and the shared pair of electrons.

Covalent bonds are usually formed between non metals with a small difference in their electro negativity.

the correct answer is

A. Neutral atoms coming together to share electrons

<u>Answer:</u> Covalent bonds are described as the neutral atoms coming together to share electrons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound. These are usually formed when two non-metals react.

<u>For Example:</u>  HCl is formed by the combination of hydrogen and chlorine atoms. These atoms share electrons to form the compound.

Ionic bond is defined as the bond which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

The atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom. This bond is usually formed between a metal (carrying positive charge) and a non-metal (carrying negative charge)

<u>For Example:</u>  NaCl is formed by the combination of Na^+\text{ and }Cl^- ions

Hence, covalent bonds are described as the neutral atoms coming together to share electrons.

What is the charge on an ion that contains 16 protons and 18 electrons?
Alika [10]
16-18= -2 so it has a negative charge. Just subtract the electrons from the protons if you get a positive number it will have a positive charge and vice versa.
