Covalent compounds are also called electrovalent compounds.

Answer 2

A covalent compound is also called molecular compounds.

It is a chemical bond that involves the interatomic linkage resulting from the sharing of electron pairs between two atoms.

These pairs of electrons are known as bonding pairs or shared pairs.

Covalent bonding is the stable balance between the repulsive and attractive forces between atoms when they share electrons.

For example, carbon dioxide and water.
