Answer

### the shared ELECTRONS (-ve) \& the NUCLEl (+ve)

Explanation

## Step1: Covalent Bond Formation### Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share electron pairs, allowing each atom to achieve a stable electron configuration.## Step2: Nature of Attractive Forces### The attractive forces in a covalent bond are primarily between the shared electrons (which are negatively charged) and the nuclei of the atoms (which are positively charged). This attraction helps to hold the atoms together.## Step3: Comparison of Forces### The attractive forces between the shared electrons and the nuclei outweigh any repulsive forces between the electrons themselves or between the nuclei. This strong attraction is what stabilizes the covalent bond.
