Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms.

Explanation:

Covalent bonds form when atoms share their valence electrons with other atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. Atoms share their electrons so they can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability.
