Covalent Bonds
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].
