Solution

Covalent Bond:
It is formed by the mutual sharing of electrons between the combining atoms of the same or different elements.
This bond is generally formed between two electronegative i.e, non-metallic elements.
Therefore, a covalent bond is formed by the mutual sharing of electrons between the combining atoms of the atoms or different elements.
