In a covalent compound, electrons are shared between atoms to form a covalent bond in order that each atom in the compound has a share in the number of electrons required to provide a stable, Noble Gas, electronic configuration.

Electrons in the Lewis Structure (electron dot diagram) are paired to show the bonding pair of electrons.

Often the shared pair of electrons forming the covalent bond is circled

Sometimes the bond itself is shown (-), these structures can be referred to as valence structures.
