It just means a non-polar bond. If the difference in electronegativity between the two elements is less than .5, then it is a pure (non-polar) covalent bond.

What does giant covalent mean?
gaint covalent means
Are buckyball's covalent networks?
no i mean the metal conncetion is quite strong but a covalent network ? Really!?
Is CO a ionic compound or a pure covalent compound?
I'm not sure what you mean by "purely covalent", since the ionic-vs-covalent distinction is expressed in terms of electronegativity, which can take a range of values (higher values = more ionic). CO is very much a covalent compound though.
How are electrons shared in a non-popular covalent bond?
In think you mean a nonpolar covalent bond. In such a bond the electrons are shared evenly between the two atoms
What is the formation of covalent bonding?
If you mean what does it look like? That depends on the atoms involved. If you mean what is meant by covalent bond? That means that the two atoms share electrons so that each acts more complete.

What is the Bond between two elemetns with similar electronegativities?
Electronegativity dif. - dEN 0 > dEN > 0.6 ----> covalent (I think this is what you mean by "similar") 0.7 > dEN > 1.6 -----> polar covalent 1.7 > dEN > 4.0 ------> ionic

How does the En of 2 atoms compare if the covalent bond between them is polar?
If by En you mean electronegativity, than in a polar covalent bond, the difference is 0.3 to 1.7.

Are the electrons identical in covalent bonding?
Usually in covalent bonding, at least two electrons share each occupied energy level. However, this does not mean that there can not be two or more covalent energy levels in a single molecule; in fact, there usually are at least this many covalent energy levels, except in diatomic molecules.
Is SCI3 covalent or ionic?
COVALENT
Is OH- ionic or covalent?

Is BrCl covalent or ionic?
No, it is covalent
