Question

The bond formed between the two atoms by mutual sharing of electrons so as to complete their octets or duplets gives :

• A. covalent compound
• B. metallic compound
• C. ionic compound
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A covalent compound

Covalent bond was first proposed by Lewis in $1916$. The bond formed between the two atoms by mutual sharing of electrons so as to complete their octets or duplets (in case of elements having only one shell) is called covalent bond or covalent linkage. A covalent bond between two similar atoms is non-polar covalent bond while it is polar between two different atom having different electronegativities.

Option A is correct.
