Answer: The atom will have a full valence electron shell.
Explanation:
Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed after the sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms. This is usually formed between two non-metals.
For Example: HCl is formed by the combination of hydrogen and chlorine atoms.
Hydrogen is the 1st element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [tex]1s^1[/tex]
Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [tex]1s^22s^22p^63s^22p^5[/tex]
Both the elements require 1 electron to complete their valence shell. Thus, both the elements will share electrons in order to form a stable compound of hydrogen chloride.
Hence, the atom will have a full valence electron shell.
