Covalent bonding (sharing)
Covalent bonding is where atoms share electrons.
To remember this, think of two people (non-metal) covered by a veil(covalent) and sharing the veil.
Covalent = sharing
Example
Within carbon dioxide molecules, a carbon atom shares all of the electrons in its outer shell with two oxygen atoms.
