covalent bond
Is it true that covalent bond only holds TWO nonmetal atoms together by sharing electrons?

Re: covalent bond
Yes, one bond can only involve two atoms. However, one atom can have more than two bonds.

Re: covalent bond
Yes, it is true. Covalent bonds are formed when two nonmetals or a nonmetal and a metalloid share electrons.

Re: covalent bond
It is true because non-metals do not form cations because their ionization energies are too high, so they share electrons to form covalent bonds.

Re: covalent bond
A bond only involves two atoms, but a molecule with more atoms can have covalent bonds between pairs of the atoms within it.
