Explain the covalent bonding

A chemical bond is a link between neighboring atoms caused by the interaction of electrons.

Electrons and Electronic forces are the key to all chemical activity.  Chemistry is essentially, the action and reaction of electrons between atoms. 


Covalent bonding is the sharing of electrons. Diamonds crystallize and covalent bindings occur. 

Diamonds bond covalently and involve no attraction of opposite charges.

Ionic bonding occurs when atoms gain or lose electrons, the resulting electrically charged atoms are called ions.
