covalent; covalently bound. Compare with covalent compound and ionic bond. A covalent bond is a very strong attraction between two or more atoms that are sharing their electrons. In structural formulas, covalent bonds are represented by a line drawn between the symbols of the bonded atoms.

A chemical bond formed when two atoms share two valence electrons, one contributed by each of the atoms. Unlike ionic bonds, covalent bonds connect specific atoms and so can give rise to true, discrete molecules. The electrons in a covalent bond are only shared equally when the atoms are identical...

A pair of electrons shared between two bonded atoms, attracting each of the positively charged nuclei of the atoms and so bonding them together, constitutes a single covalent bond. Each of the bonded atoms provides one electron of the shared pair. Sometimes, both electrons of the shared pair can be provided by just one of the bonded atoms forming a...

a strong bond between atoms formed by sharing outer electrons. When an atom has 8 outer electrons it is stable. Those which naturally have 8, like neon and argon gasses are quite unreactive. The carbon atom has 4 outer electrons and therefore needs 4 extra electrons to be stable. Four hydrogen atoms make a good partnership for carbon,(CH4, C2 H6 .....
