In covalent molecule, the atoms have definite relative position in space with respect to each other.
In non-spherical orbitals(p, d, f, etc.) electron density is concentrated in definite direction thus, the resultant bond will have the same direction.
they form stability between molecules. H atom aligns itself between two electronegative atoms (like F-F, N-F, N-N, O-O, N-O etc) so that it becomes more stable through bonding.
Eg: H2O... H+ ion of one water molecule align itself properly with O- ion of another water molecule
Ionic bonds are often said to be non directional. This reflects the fact that the strength of electrostatic attraction is simply dependant on distance. Covalent bonds are directional as the electron pair sits between the bonded atoms
bonds...
Covalent bonds are usually depicted as localised and directional- with electron density due to a pair of electronssitting between the atoms that are bonded.
The bonds are called covalent molecular bonds.
Network Solids are atomic solids that contain strong directional covalent bonds to form a solid that might be best viewed as a giant molecule.
Covalent bonds of all types are directional in nature.

covalent bonds?? inter molecular bonds?
Such bonds are called non-polar bonds.
Covalent bonds are 'electron sharing' bonds, as the name implies, but the sharing doesn't have to be equal. Any tendency for the shared electrons to favor one side of the bond over the other in their average distribution will lend an asymmetry to the arrangement of the atoms (if there are three or more atoms participating in the bond). A good example of a directional covalent bond is water, where the molecule has an angular structure due to the asymmetric distribution of electrons between hydrogen and oxygen.
They are called molecules.
