Hydrogen atoms share electrons in a covalent bond.
A carbon atom has only four electrons in its valance energy shell. This allows for four other bonding possibilities. Carbon is also an atom that has covalent bonding properties which means it shares its electrons with the molecules that it is bonded to.
Hydrogen atoms have one valence electron which is also the only electron they have.
The bond where each oxygen atom shares four electrons with the carbon atom is called a double bond. In a double bond, two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms.
The electrons in an atom are responsible for how they interact with other atoms. Electrons are negatively charged particles that determine the chemical behavior of an atom as they are involved in forming chemical bonds with other atoms.
Yes, O2 has shared electrons. In the O2 molecule, each oxygen atom shares two electrons with the other oxygen atom, forming a covalent bond. This sharing of electrons allows the atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration.

covalent bonds are when one atom shares the same valence electrons with another atom other.Covalent bonds are how atoms stay together
The electrons in the outermost energy level (valence electrons) of an atom are the ones involved in chemical bonding with other atoms. These electrons determine the atom's reactivity and ability to form bonds with other atoms.
