covalent bonds can be best described as

a. neutral atoms coming together to share electrons.

b. neutral atoms coming together to create electrons.

c. ionized atoms coming together to trade electrons.

d. ionized atoms coming together to destroy electrons.

Covalent bonds are described as the neutral atoms coming together to share electrons.

Explanation:

Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound. These are usually formed when two non-metals react.

For Example:  HCl is formed by the combination of hydrogen and chlorine atoms. These atoms share electrons to form the compound.

Ionic bond is defined as the bond which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

The atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom. This bond is usually formed between a metal (carrying positive charge) and a non-metal (carrying negative charge)

For Example:  NaCl is formed by the combination of ions

Hence, covalent bonds are described as the neutral atoms coming together to share electrons.

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.
