Covalent bonding happens when an atom (I'm assuming you know the basics of an atom's behaviour) wants an electon in it's shell to give it a noble gas configuration. It therefore shares the electron with another atom that has the same dilemma. They therefore bond with each other as they are sharing an electron.
Covalent bonding does happen in solids. Caffeine is a solid. so are most organic molecules.
How can you compare covalent bonding and ionic bonding with soccer
Caffeine is a covalent compound.
polar covalent - use the electronegativity difference
No. Ionic bonding produces ions. Covalent bonding usually produces molecules.

covalent bonding is used to share electrons
Caffeine is a covalent compound.

No. Ionic bonding produces ions. Covalent bonding usually produces molecules.
Covalent bonding is formed generally between nonmetals.

Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons.
Ionic and covalent bonding involve electrons. Ionic bonding involves the loss and gain of electrons, form ions. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.
No. This compound, butane, is covalently bonded.
