Covalent compunds are formed b/t non-metals.
They are formed by the _____________ of a ______________ of electrons
First one is sharing and the second one is pair
Hello! I'd be happy to help you with your questions.
Covalent compounds are usually formed between nonmetal atoms. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons in order to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
To fill in the sentence, "They are formed by the _____________ of a ______________ of electrons Each atom in a covalent ...," you can fill it in as follows:
"They are formed by the **shared** of a **pair** of electrons. Each atom in a covalent bond contributes one electron to the shared pair."
In a covalent bond, two atoms share a pair of electrons, with each atom contributing one electron to the shared pair. This sharing of electrons creates a bond between the atoms and allows them to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
