Question

A bond that forms when atoms share electrons is called a(n)

polar covalent bond
metallic bond
ionic bond
covalent bond

Answer 1

Covalent bond

Answer 2

An atom stabilizes by bonding with another atom in order to fill out its outer set of electrons in its shell. When two atoms of the same chemical element bond together they form a diatonic molecule. When two atoms of different chemical elements bond, they form a chemical compound. Atoms are held together because there is an electrostatic attractive force between the two atoms. Energy is required for the chemical reaction to bond atoms. This energy becomes potential chemical energy that is stored in a molecule or chemical compound. For example, combining two atoms of hydrogen forms a hydrogen molecule, H2.
