Sharing of valence electrons.

Explanation:

In a covalent bonds, there is sharing of the valence electrons used in bonding between the two combining species.

The atoms taking part do not have a wide electronegativity difference between them and so they share the valence electrons to complete their octet and ensure their stability.

For the formation of this bond type, each of the atom requires a odd or unpaired electrons.
Covalent bonds are formed between atoms having zero or very small electronegativity difference.

Is water going from liquid to solid a physical or chemical change and why

Kipish [7]

It would be a physical change. It’s still water just in a different physical form. If it was a chemical change, it would no longer be water. For example, when the ice melts back into water...it’s still water.
