In the covalent bond, atoms share electrons to achieve octet configuration.

In the covalent bond, atoms share electrons to achieve octet configuration. Correct Answer True

In the year 1919, Langmuir postulated the theory of covalent bond and its formation by combining with Lewis theory. An example of this is the formation of Cl2, Two atoms of Cl combine by sharing the 7th electron in its outer shell.
