They form from tiny molecules that start from compounds and have a chemical not physical bond.
A covalent bond forms when atoms share electrons.
Atoms are the smallest forms of matter that we have discovered.

Each atom can exist in many forms on its own. Then when you combine each of the forms with each of the forms of the other atoms, the number of substances increases exponentially.
A nonpolar covalent bond forms between two bromine atoms, where the atoms share electrons equally to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Valence Electrons
A compound is formed from atoms. Covalent bond is weaker.
