Question

What is covalent bonding?
Options
A Complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another
B Sharing of electron pairs between atoms with similar or identical electronegativities
Correct Answer
C Delocalization of electrons across a metal lattice
D Attraction between partially charged regions of molecules
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Covalent bonding is a type of chemical bond in which electron pairs are shared between atoms that have similar or identical electronegativities. This sharing allows each atom to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Hint

Covalent bonds involve sharing, not transferring, electrons.
