A covalent bond's definition is "the sharing of a pair of electrons between adjacent atoms" [1]. Out of all of the bonds that form between atoms, a covalent bond is the strongest to form[2]. For instance, the bond between two chlorine atoms is also called as covalent bond. Covalent bonds divided into two groups such as polar covalent bond and nonpolar covalent bond. A chemical bond where a pair of elctrons is unequally shared between two atoms is known as polar covalent bonding while nonpolar covalent bonding happens when a pair of electrons shared equally by two atoms[3].
