Practice Question

What kind of bond is formed by atoms sharing a pair of electrons?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

A covalent bond

Rationale:

→ A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

→ This type of bond is strong and commonly found in organic molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.

→ The shared electrons allow atoms to achieve stable electron configurations, similar to noble gases.

→ Covalent bonds can be single, double, or triple depending on how many electron pairs are shared.

→ Unlike ionic bonds, which involve electron transfer, covalent bonds rely on electron sharing for stability.
