Answer:

The electron pairs are shared.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a molecule is formed by covalent bonding the electron pairs are shared between the atoms forming the molecules.

If the pair is shared equally between the atoms the bond formed is known as non-polar covalent bond. Whereas if the sharing is unequal the bond formed is known as polar covalent bond.
