How does convalent bonding work?

Answer 1

I believe the qustion should read "what is a covalent bond". A covalent bond is a bonding interaction that comes about due to the effects of quantum mechanics and involves the sharing of electrons. Contrast this with an ionic bond that can be understood based on classical electrostatic forces.

Answer 2

Do you mean covalent compounds?

Covalent compounds are compounds made when atoms form chemical bonds by sharing electrons. The other main type of chemical bond is the ionic bond, formed when atoms transfer electrons (gain or lose them).

Covalent compounds are formed when two non-metal atoms bond together. They have approximately the same attraction for electrons so they cannot remove an electron from anither atom to form an ionic bond.

Covalent compounds usually have lower melting points and boiling points compared with ionic compounds. They do not usually conduct electricity.

Answer 3

In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between atoms resulting in a slight charge (symbol δ+/-) between atoms. In an ionic bond, electrons are transfered between atoms. A covalent bond can be polar or nonpolar while a ionic bond (because electrons are transfered) is the most polar.
Ionic bonds form between a metal and a non-metal, while covalent bonds form between two non-metals.

Answer 4

It is a chemical bond, formed when the atoms of two nonmetals share electrons in one or more pairs.

electrons are shared equally between elements
