Answer: A) Two atoms share electrons so they can fill their outer shells

Explanation: A covalent bond is a type of bond formed by sharing equal number of electrons between two non-metal atoms so that both of them can attain a stable octet or duplet structure of noble gases.

In covalent bonding, there is no loss or gain of electrons between atoms. For example, the formation of chlorine molecule, chlorine atom has seven electrons in its outermost shell, remaining one electron to attain an octet structure of noble gases. Two chlorine atoms share one pair of electron, each chlorine atom donating one electron to form a pair so that each atom in the chlorine molecule attains an octet structure..

Compare the physical and chemical properties of a compound to those of the elements of which it is composed

zepelin [54]

Answer:

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: water $H_2O$

$2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_2(g+O_2(g)$

Physical property is defined as the property of a substance which becomes evident during physical changes. Water is liquid at room temperature whereas hydrogen and oxygen are gases at room temperature.

Chemical property is defined as the property of a substance which becomes evident during chemical changes. Water reacts with metals to form bases, hydrogen reacts with metals to form hydrides and oxygen reacts with metals to form oxides.
