Covalent bonding is basically when atoms share pairs of electrons in order to gain greater stability. It is regarded as a balance of attractive and repulsive forces and can result in the development of an outer shell by atoms within a molecule who share their...

Chemical bonds are how atoms connect to other atoms, forming matter. These bonds are created when valence electrons - electrons in the outer shell of an atom - interact. Electrons repel one another, but are attracted to the protons in the center of atoms. This...
