What type of bond is formed when atoms share electrons?
A
Covalent
B
Ionic
C
Hydrogen
D
Polyatomic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Covalent bonds are the most important means of bonding in organic chemistry. The formation of a covalent bond is the result of atoms sharing some electrons. The bond is created by the overlapping of two atomic orbitals [1].

Detailed explanation-2: -A Nonpolar Covalent Bond is created when atoms share their electrons equally. This usually occurs when two atoms have similar or the same electron affinity. The closer the values of their electron affinity, the stronger the attraction. This occurs in gas molecules; also known as diatomic elements.

Detailed explanation-3: -Covalent bonding is the sharing of electrons between atoms. This type of bonding occurs between two atoms of the same element or of elements close to each other in the periodic table. This bonding occurs primarily between nonmetals; however, it can also be observed between nonmetals and metals.
