describe how two atoms come together to form a single covalent bond.

When an atom donates electrons and other gains electrons, they form ions and the bond is called the ionic bond. When the atoms share electrons between them, they form a molecule, and the bond is called the covalent bond.

The atoms can share one, two or three pairs of electrons in the same bond. If one pair is shared it's called a single bond or a covalent simple; if two pairs are shared it's called a double bond or a covalent double, and if three pairs are shared it's called a triple bond or a covalent triple.
