Covalent bonds typically form between nonmetal atoms — atoms with similar, relatively high electronegativities — that share electron pairs to achieve stable electron configurations.
Examples: H2, O2, N2, H2O, CH4, Cl2. If the two nonmetals have very similar electronegativities the bond is nonpolar covalent; if they differ moderately it is polar covalent. (Metalloids can also form covalent bonds with nonmetals.)
