Which is an example of a covalent bond?there are fewer than 16 valence electrons in 2 chlorine atoms, but they form a stable bond.chlorine accepts 1 electron from calcium to form a stable bond.ions in a bar of pure iron are surrounded by a large number of valence electronsnextreset?
The correct choice should contain the word "share." Electrons are shared in a covalent bond. In an ionic bond, atom(s) take an electron giving it (them) a negative charge and other atom(s) lose an electron giving it them a positive charge.
I happen to know that the chlorine molecule Cl2 is covalent ===> C
A good answer would have been:
Water, 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom SHARE valence electrons.
