Question

define covalent bonding and describe the bonding in methane with the help of electron dot structure

Answer 1

There are two main types of chemical bondsthat hold atoms together: covalent and ionic/electrovalent bonds. Atoms that share electrons in a chemical bond have covalent bonds. ... Ionic bonds occur when electrons are donated from one atom to another. Table salt (NaCl) is a common example of a compound with an ionic bond.
