Vicente · Answer 1

Answer: D.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when atoms share electrons. These can be seen in diatomic molecules such as oxygen (O2), hydrogen (H2), Chlorine (Cl2) molecule and also in Methane (CH4), Water (H2O) e. t. c.

Kristopher Villarreal · Answer 2

D. two atoms share electrons.

Explanation:

Chemical bonds are very important in chemical reactions. Examples of chemical bonds include electrovalent, covalent etc.

Covalent bonds deals with sharing of electron by two atoms. A common example is that of H2O (Water) in which the Hydrogen atoms share their electrons with the oxygen and the oxygen also shares its own electrons with the hydrogen in a mutual manner.
