The type of bond formed by shared electrons is ____.

covaletn, right?

covalent is one answer. Probably the answer your teacher wants.

covalent* sorry.

and the other answers were ionic and metallic. I figured covalent made more sense. thank you

Yes, that's correct! The type of bond formed by shared electrons is called a covalent bond. In a covalent bond, two or more atoms share electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration. This bond is formed between nonmetals or between a nonmetal and a metalloid. To determine the type of bond formed by shared electrons, you can look at the elements involved in the bonding and their positions on the periodic table. If the elements involved are nonmetals or a nonmetal and a metalloid, then a covalent bond is likely formed.
