Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the types of chemical bonds: Covalent, Ionic, Metallic, and Hydrogen bonds.
Recognize that a covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms to achieve a full outer shell and greater stability.
Differentiate between covalent bonds and other types: Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons, metallic bonds involve a 'sea of electrons' shared among many atoms, and hydrogen bonds are weak attractions between molecules.
Identify that in a covalent bond, the shared electrons allow each atom to attain the electron configuration of a noble gas.
Conclude that the type of bond where electrons are shared between atoms is a covalent bond.
