#Section 2: General Biology

A covalent bond is a chemical bond that occurs when two or more atoms share electrons. The sharing of electrons helps complete the outer shell, or valence shell, of both atoms. The sharing of electrons creates a stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms.
