Double Covalent Bond

Loading image...

A covalent bond in which two atoms share two pairs of electrons

Real World Example

Imagine you and a friend trying to carry two heavy grocery bags home, but each of you only has one free hand. This situation is similar to a double covalent bond, where two atoms "carry" or share two pairs of electrons to stay connected and stable. Just as you and your friend use both of your available hands to manage the weight together, each atom in a double covalent bond uses two pairs of electrons to maintain a strong connection, ensuring that both parties are supported and balanced.
