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.
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.

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.
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
By sharing their outer most electrons
water
Carbon monoxide is a molecule with covalent bonds.
An Ionic bond is metals bonding to non-metals. A Covalent bond is non-metals bonding to non-metals.
Neither it is a metal, the bonding is metallic- ions in a sea of electrons- is a very simple description.
A proton has a positive charge and a neutron has a negative. The nutron travels in shells around the nucleus. this is what the bonding in a compound uses - convalent and ionic bonding. The ratio between the protons and the neutrons tell us whether something is postively charged or negatively charged.
It'll form either one (if something else is bonding to the oxygen atom) or two (if you're making water, in which case you need two hydrogen atoms).
No. Hydrogen bonding is a strong intermolecular force. It is not a true bond.
Carbon monoxide is a molecule with covalent bonds.
convalent bonding
An Ionic bond is metals bonding to non-metals. A Covalent bond is non-metals bonding to non-metals.
Neither it is a metal, the bonding is metallic- ions in a sea of electrons- is a very simple description.
Covalent bonding.
Covalent bonding is a type of chemical bonding where atoms share electron pairs in order to achieve a full outer shell of electrons. This type of bonding occurs between non-metal atoms.

When electrons are shared in two or more different atoms, it is known as the scientific term, Convalent Bonding. When electrons and given and taken in, otherwise known as tranferring electrons from one atom or another, is called Ionic Bonding.
