        Covalent bonding
        Covalent bonds form between non-metal atoms.
        A covalent bond forms when two positive nuclei are held together by their common attraction for a shared pair of electrons.
        Diagrams can be drawn to show how outer electrons are shared to form the covalent bond(s) in a molecule.
