Q: What bonds form because they give atoms a more stable arrangement of electrons?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Covalent bonds form because they give atoms a more stable arrangement of electrons. Look at the hydrogen atoms in Figure above . Alone, each hydrogen atom has just one electron. By sharing electrons with another hydrogen atom, it has two electrons: its own and the one in the other hydrogen atom. The shared electrons are attracted to both hydrogen nuclei. This force of attraction holds the two atoms together as a molecule of hydrogen.

 Choices:

- Hydrogen bond

- Ionic bond

- Polar bond

- covalent


A:
covalent
