Question

In covalent compounds, atoms become chemically stable by sharing their valence electrons.
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

True, A bond is a force of attraction between two or more atoms due to transfer or sharing of electrons. Covalent bond involves sharing of electrons between atoms. It occurs between non metal atoms, where atoms become chemically stable by sharing electrons, the atoms gain the shared electrons to form a stable configuration.

Answer 2

true     covalent  compound  atom  become  stable  by  sharing  their  valence  electrons.  The  covalent   compounds  are  formed   between  two  non  metals  which  shares  electrons. example  between   in methane  were  the  bonding  is  between hydrogen(non  metal)  and  carbon(non  metal).Electrons  are  attracted  to  the  positively   charge nuclei  of the atoms
