Yes. For example, the four carbon-hydrogen bonds in methane are usually considered identical.
Covalent bonds are a way for atoms to "help each other", sharing their electrons, in order to form a stable molecule.
Here are some type of covalent bonds:
- Single bond, is a bond formed by one pair of electrons (two electrons) shared between two atoms.
2. Multiple bond, is a bond where more than one pair of electrons is being shared.
- Double Bond, is a bond formed by two pairs of electrons (four electrons)being shared between two atoms.
- Triple Bond, is a bond where three pairs of electrons are being shared, bonding two atoms.
Multiple bonds are used when a single bond isn't enough to follow the Octet Rule, in other words, to be stable.

amphoteric
Is tooth paste a ionic or covalent bond?
Toothpaste is not a pure substance but is mixture of many ingredients some contain covalent bonds some ionic.
What bond type is glycerine?
Covalent bonding and some of these bonds (C-O and O-H) are polar.
Are molecules ionic bonds or covalent bonds?
Covalent- but sometimes some bonds are very borderline
Peptide bonds are covalent or ionic?
Peptide bond are amide bonds so are covalent bonds with some polarity.
Is sulfur hexachloride ionic or molecular?
This compound is generally considered covalent, because sulfur is not known to form any cation with a charge of +6, as would be required for the compound to be ionic, since fluoride ion always has a charge of -1.
What is the name for a compound formed with covalent bonds?
Covalent bonding is the bond within compounds that have a electronegativity difference of less than approx. 1.5 units, usually non-metal to non-metal...examples being benzoic acid, sucrose... and oxygen (two molecules of O bonded) has a covalent bond
What kind of element most often forms covalent bonds?
Typically the non metals form covalent bonds. Of course some non metals will also form anions when they react with metals. Some metals can also can form covalent bonds however as their electronegativity is low these bonds are often polar covalent
In a covalent compound some electrons are?
In a covalent compound some electrons are shared between at least two atomic nuclei.
Does potassium form covalent bonds?
No, it forms only ionic bonds. Covalent bonds are only formed between non-metals, although a few metals, such as Aluminum, can also form covalent bonds with non-metals.
Is a covalent bond a double bond?
A double bond is a covalent bond, but not all covalent bonds are double bonds; some bonds may be single or triple (or even in rare cases, quadruple) instead.
