Question

what are carbides? give a short account on covalent bond​

Answer 1

Answer:

Covalent carbides-:

There are only two carbides that are considered completely covalent; they are formed with the two elements that are most similar to carbon in size and electronegativity, boron (B) and silicon (Si). Silicon carbide (SiC) is known as carborundum.

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.
