Chemistry Covalent Bond

Reasons for Covalent Bonding

Covalent bonding occurs when two or more are held together by the shared electrons.

There are a number of reasons why atoms form covalent bonds, including:

To achieve a more stable electron configuration. When can fill their outer electron shells and become more stable.
To reduce the energy of the molecule. When more stable.
To increase the strength of the bond. Covalent bonds are stronger than ionic bonds because the shared electrons are held more tightly between the atoms. This is because the shared electrons are attracted to both atoms, while in an ionic bond, the electrons are only attracted to one atom. The stronger attraction between the atoms in a covalent bond makes the bond stronger.
