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
The likely thing which happens when two atoms of this element move toward each other is covalent bonding.
<h3>What is Covalent bonding?</h3>
This involves the atoms of element sharing electrons in order to achieve a stable octet configuration.
The element is oxygen which has an atomic number of 8 and needs two electrons to complete its outermost shell which results in the formation of two covalent bonds.

A: Trial 1, because the average rate of the reaction is lower.
The rate of reaction is the speed with which reactants are converted into products. It is also the rate at which reactants disappear and products appear. The higher the rate of reaction, the greater the amount of product formed in a reaction.
If we look at the graph, we will realize that trial 1 produces a lesser amount of product than trial 2. This implies that the average rate of the reaction in trial 1 is lower than in trial 2.
Lower average rate of reaction implies lower concentration of the reactants since the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of reactants.
Hence trial 1 has a lower concentration of reactants because the average rate of the reaction is lower.
