Respuesta :
In covalent bonding, both atoms are trying to attract electrons--the same electrons. Thus, the electrons are shared tightly between the atoms. The force of attraction that each atom exerts on the shared electrons is what holds the two atoms together.
In a covalent bond. valence electrons holds the atoms together.
What is atom?
Atom is the smallest unit of the element. Different elements have different size atoms and same element have same size atoms.
All matter consists of atoms. Atoms of the same element are the same in size and atoms of different elements are different. Atoms combine in whole-number ratios to form compounds.
In covalent bonding, atoms are attracting electrons on the outer shell of the atom of the element. Thus, the electrons are shared tightly between the atoms. The force of attraction that each atom exerts on the shared electrons holds the two atoms together.
Thus, valence electrons holds the atoms together in a covalent bond.
