The bond between two identical non metallic atoms has a pair of electrons :

Aunequally shared among the two atoms.
Bequally shared among two atoms
Correct Answer
Cequal transfer of electrons from one atom to another
Dshared by only one atom.

Solution

Covalent bonding ccurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outer most (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability.
