Also called covalent bond because they share valence electrons. A covalent bond‚ which is the strongest bond‚ takes action when two atoms valence overlap. For example‚ there are two suns and the light that shines from the two solid spheres forms many rays making a radiant cloud around each of the two. If these suns move closer together the radiant shine would
