The chemical formula that represents a covalent compound, where atoms share electrons, is **CO2** (carbon dioxide).
The other options are ionic compounds:
- MgO (magnesium oxide)
- KI (potassium iodide)
- NaCl (sodium chloride)
These compounds form through the transfer of electrons rather than sharing.
