Solution

The correct statement regarding covalent interactions is: c. They involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Here's why:

a. They occur between charged particles. - This is incorrect. Covalent interactions occur between neutral atoms, not charged particles.

b. They are weaker than non-covalent interactions. - This is incorrect. Covalent bonds are generally stronger than non-covalent interactions.

c. They involve the sharing of electrons between atoms. - This is correct. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

d. They involve the transfer of electrons between atoms. - This is incorrect. The transfer of electrons between atoms is characteristic of ionic bonds, not covalent bonds.
