Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Covalent bonds are formed when
A
positive and negative ions are attracted to each other
B
positive metal ions are attracted to delocalised electrons
C
positive nuclei are attracted to a shared pair of electrons
D
none of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A covalent bond consists of the mutual sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms. These electrons are simultaneously attracted by the two atomic nuclei. A covalent bond forms when the difference between the electronegativities of two atoms is too small for an electron transfer to occur to form ions.

Detailed explanation-2: -A covalent bond is formed by equal sharing of electrons from both the participating atoms. The pair of electrons participating in this type of bonding is called shared pair or bonding pair. The covalent bonds are also termed as molecular bonds.

Detailed explanation-3: -A polar covalent bond is a covalent bond in which the atoms have an unequal attraction for electrons and so the sharing is unequal. In a polar covalent bond, sometimes simply called a polar bond, the distribution of electrons around the molecule is no longer symmetrical.

Detailed explanation-4: -A covalent bond is the force of attraction that holds together two atoms that share a pair of valence electrons. The shared electrons are attracted to the nuclei of both atoms. This forms a molecule consisting of two or more atoms.

Detailed explanation-5: -Covalent bond. The bond formed by sharing of one, two or three pairs of electrons between two atoms is known as covalent bond.
