Question

Explain about covalent bond.

Answer 1

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding

Answer 2

Ans : There are two types of bonds :-
(i) Ionic bond
(ii) Covalent bond

Ionic bond is formed by transfer of electrons whereas covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons.

covalent bonds are three types :-
(i)single covalent bond
(ii)Double covalent bond
(iii)triple covalent bond
