In covalent bonding Non metals combine together by sharing electrons. The shared pair of electrons holds the two atoms together. It's called a covalent bond. The group of atoms bonded together in this way is called a molecule.

It occurs because of the tendency of the atom to have its valence shell full ( $O c t e t$ $Octet$ $r$ $r$ $u$ $u$ $l$ $l$ $e$ $e$ )

This is one of an example of how an atom shares its electrons with the other element in such a way that the two elements have full
$8$ $8$ electron in their valence shell.

In the above example the $o$ $o$ $x y$ $xy$ $g$ $g$ $e n$ $en$ atom needs $2$ $2$ more electrons So,it shares the $2$ $2$ electrons from a $o$ $o$ $x y$ $xy$ $g$ $g$ $e n$ $en$ molecule to for a covalent bond molecule.
