a covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the_ of electron pairs between atoms
gain
loss
sharing
exchange

Explanation:

1. Ionic bonding occurs when there is an electrostatic attraction between oppositely - charged ions. Cations (positively charged) and anions (negatively charged) are attracted to each other.
2. A covalent bond involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, which allows atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Answer:

1. A. oppositely charged ions
2. C. sharing
