Forming a covalent bond
A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons. Covalent bonding occurs in most non-metal elements, and in compounds formed between non-metals.
These shared electrons are found in the outer shells of the atoms. Usually each atom contributes one electron to the shared pair of electrons.
The slideshow shows how a covalent bond forms between a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom, making hydrogen chloride.
Structures of a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom.
1. A hydrogen atom with one electron and a chlorine atom with 17 electrons
Molecules
Most covalently bonded substances consist of small molecules. A molecule is a group of two or more atoms joined together by covalent bonds. Molecules of the same element or compound always contain the same number of atoms of each element.
The atoms in a molecule are always joined together by a covalent bond. Substances that are made up of ions do not form molecules.
Sizes of atoms and simple molecules
A small molecule contains only a few atoms, so atoms and small molecules have a similar range of sizes. They are very small, typically around 0.1 nm or 1 × 10-10 m across.
Ps please mark me as brainiest please
Answer:
16 is the mass number. 8 is the atomic number.
Carbon to carbon bond is nonpolar covalent since the difference of their electronegativity’s is 0. Carbon has an electronegativity of 2.5. 2.5 - 2.5 is 0 making the bond between those two atoms nonpolar covalent. I hope I answered your question.
The substance that conducts electricity is 
dissolved in water.
So, option A is correct one.
When the sodium chloride dissolve in water , the sodium atoms and chlorine atoms separates under the presence of water molecules and exist as sodium cation and chloride anion . Now , they are free to move around in the water as positively and negatively charged ions . This separation of charge allows the solution to conduct electricity.
The solid and solid sugar does not conduct electricity because it is not dissolve in water . Similarly, sugar dissolved in water does not conduct electricity .
