Asked by Jazmin
A covalent bond forms when
(1)two nuclei share electrons in order to achieve a complete octet of electrons
(2) atoms form ions and then electrostatic forces of attraction bond the ions together.
(3)repulsive forces between atoms are greater than the attractive forces
(4) a metal atom combines with a nonmetal atom
please help !
