Verified step by step guidance

Understand the types of chemical bonds: Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in charged ions. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Identify the key characteristic of covalent bonds: Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons, allowing them to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Differentiate between covalent and other types of bonds: Unlike ionic bonds, covalent bonds do not result in charged particles. Hydrogen bonds are weak interactions between molecules, and polar bonds are a type of covalent bond where electrons are shared unequally.

Recognize the context of the question: The question asks about the type of bond formed by sharing electrons, which is a defining feature of covalent bonds.

Conclude that the correct answer is 'Covalent': Based on the sharing of electrons, the bond described in the question is a covalent bond.
