    Answer: Covalent bonding is when atoms of different elements  share electrons

    Explanation: Taking Methane CH₄

    it contains Hydrogen and Carbon atoms pairing electrons. the electronic configuration for carbon is 2,4 that is to say it has 4 electrons in its valence shell (outer shell) and hydrogen has 1 so carbon shares its four electrons with four hydrogen atoms thus forming a covalent bond. so they now have a stable arrangement of electrons in their outer shell ,thus giving CH₄
