Covalent bonding is like a tug-of-war. Two atoms share their electrons, but each atom pulls those shared electrons towards itself. When the two atoms pull equally, it is called a nonpolar covalent bond. Atoms form bonds in order to achieve a stable, full outer energy level.For most atoms this means having eight electrons in the outer energy level, like the noble gases.ovalent bonding is like a tug-of-war.
