: [[Atom]]s are more [[Chemically Stable|chemically stable]] when their [[Outer Shell|outer shell]] is full of [[electron]]s. One way [[atom]]s can have a full [[Outer Shell|outer shell]] is by sharing some [[electron]]s with other [[atom]]s, this is a '''covalent bond'''.
: '''Covalent bonds''' happen between [[non-metal]] [[element]]s.
: '''Covalent bonds''' can be represented by a [[Dot and Cross Diagram]] to show how the [[electron]]s are shared between the [[Outer Shell|outer shells]] of different [[atom]]s.
