stuff that is made up from 2 or more non metals. For example water, oxygen, methane etc
A molecule formed by covalent bonding is a water molecule (H2O). In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer shell and form stable molecules.
Atoms involved in covalent bonding are just called atoms. Molecules are composed of covalently bonded atoms.
They are molecules.No they are generally called molecules. However there are polyatomic ions that are charged molecules, such as SO42-
No, a neutral particle that forms as a result of electrons sharing are called a molecule.
Covalent compounds and molecular compounds are the same thing if I recalled correctly, just different terms of calling it. And covalent bonds are the bonds formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms, and they are the strong forces of attraction WITHIN the molecule.Please do not get it mixed up with the weak van der Waals' forces that is found BETWEEN molecules and is caused by a temporary shift of electrons to one side of the molecule, resulting in a slightly positive/negative end.
Yes, molecular compounds are formed through covalent bonding where atoms share electrons to form molecules. These molecules can exist as separate entities due to the strong bonds between the atoms.
Covalent bonding is formed generally between nonmetals.
A Covalent bond is formed. A Covalent bond is formed.

No, covalent bonding does not produce ions. It involves the sharing of electrons between atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a full outer shell.
Methane is non polar.So dispersion forces are formed.
