Chemical bond which is formed between two atoms of same or different elements by mutual sharing of electrons in such way that both the atoms acquire stable configuration of nearest noble gas is called covalent bond.
★ Under Normal conditions of pressure and temperature , they exsist as gases or weak solids
★ Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points .
★ Covalent substances with high molecular mass are solids
★ Covalent compounds exhibit isomerism and rigid directional bonds
★ Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity and they are also known as non-electrolytes
★ Covalent substances are soluble in non polar solvents and insoluble in polar solvents .
