In the covalent compound, the bond is formed due to the ______ (sharing/transfer) of electron

Open in App

Solution

Covalent compound:
These compounds are formed when the electrons are shared between the atom of the same element or different elements.
These compounds may be in solid, liquid, or gaseous states.
So, In the covalent compound, the bond is formed due to the sharing of electron
