    Well, a covalent bond. A covalent or dative bonding is a chemical bonding that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. It is usually occurs between two non-metal atoms trying to. obtain a stable outer electron. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms to a obtain a full electron shell. Atoms obtain this stability by sharing their outer most electrons. A boron atom cannot reach the noble gas structure simply by sharing electrons. This isn't a disadvantage because the boron atom forms as many covalent bonds it can with the dissipation of heat.
