A covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, or between atoms and other covalent bonds. In short, attraction-to-repulsion stability that forms between atoms when they share electrons is known as covalent bonding

∙ 12y agoA polar covalent molecule is formed when there is a high electronegativity difference to the atoms that are being bonded. The electronegativity is not high enough that the electrons would cross over and forma crystal lattice but strong enough that the shared covalent bonds are attracted more to one side than the other

What molecules form proteins when linked together with convalent bonds?
Animo acids
Is hydrogen a covalent or an ionic bonds?
convalent
What determines how many convalent bonds atom will form?
The number of electrons in an atom's valence shell determines its valency.
The properties of carbon that makes necessary to forming organic molecules?
valence of 4 bonds and can form a single or double convalent bond
Why do atoms form convalent and not ionic bonds?
The difference in electronegativity determines the type of chemical bonding between atoms. Metals and nonmetals often have a large difference in electronegativity, and tend to form ionic bonds, while nonmetals bonded to nonmetals tend to have smaller electronegativities and tend to form covalent bonds.
What molecules form proteins when linked with convalent bonds?
Animo acids

Animo acids
What are electrons in convalent bonds?
Atoms share electrons in covalent bonds.
Is hydrogen a covalent or an ionic bonds?
convalent
What determines how many convalent bonds atom will form?
The number of electrons in an atom's valence shell determines its valency.
What bonds does carbon atoms tend to form?
Carbon will almost always form bonds with other carbon atoms, and that is part of what makes it such a useful element.
What are the bonds called that form when chemicals share bonds?
Convalent bonds (atoms all sharing their electrons), metallic bonds (a rigid crystal lattice bond), and ionic bonds (opposite electric charges-cation=+ anion=--that bond).
Does sodium chloride have convalent bonds between their atoms?
Sodium chloride has ionic bonds.
The properties of carbon that makes necessary to forming organic molecules?
valence of 4 bonds and can form a single or double convalent bond
What best describes convalent bonds?
Sharing of electrons. Generally this involves pirs of electrons forming bonds.
How many pi bonds are there in a triple convalent bond?
Two pi bonds and one sigma bond.
Are ionic bonds both nonmetals?
No. Ionic bonds have a metal and a non metal. Convalent/molecular bonds contain only nonmetals.
