Which type of bond involves sharing pairs of electrons?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
In a covalent bond, atoms share pairs of electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This sharing of electrons leads to the formation of a strong bond between atoms. Ionic bonds, on the other hand, involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, Covalent, as it specifically describes the sharing of electron pairs, distinguishing it from ionic bonds where electron transfer occurs rather than electron sharing.
