Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In a covalent bond, one or more pairs of electrons are shared by two atoms.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
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: -In a double bond two pairs of electrons (four electrons) are shared between two atoms.

Detailed explanation-3: -A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons to form electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs. The stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding.
