Covalency is the number of electron pairs an atom can share with other atoms. The total number of orbitals available in the valence shell is known as covalency, whether the orbitals are completely filled or empty . For example, the electronic configuration of Boron (Atomic Number 5) is 1s2 2s2 2p1. So, there are only two shells. The second shell contains one 2s orbitals and three 2p orbitals resulting total four orbitals in second shell. Therefore, Boron is restricted to a maximum covalency of 4 since only four(one s and three p) orbitals are available for bonding.
Only one covalent bond.
Double covalent intramolecular bonds with the oxygen. Van der Waal's intermolecular bonds.
covalent
They have a covalent bond
Atoms in a covalent bond don't "know" which atom they belong to in the traditional sense. Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell. The sharing of electrons creates a stable arrangement, but the atoms involved still maintain their individual identities.
Each atom in a covalent bond shares at least one electron with another electron of another atom to maintain the covalent bond.

No.
ClO2 is a covalent compound. It consists of covalent bonds between the atoms, specifically a double bond between the central chlorine atom and one of the oxygen atoms, and single bonds between the central chlorine atom and the other oxygen atom, and between each oxygen atom and the central chlorine atom.
Methanol has covalent bonds. It is covalent
Water has covalent bonds.The bonds between atoms in a water molecule are covalent bond, somewhat polar ones.
This type of covalent bond is known as a dative or coordinate covalent bond. It forms when one atom shares both electrons in the bond with another atom, which acts as the electron acceptor.
covalent/ionic bonding.
Any carbon atom can form a covalent bond with nitrogen. In hydrogen cyanide, HCN, the carbon atom forms a triple covalent bond with the nitrogen atom. In amino acids, the carbon atom forms a single bond with a nitrogen atom.
Gallium arsenide (GaAs) is classified as a compound semiconductor with covalent bonding. It forms a covalent bond between the gallium atom and the arsenic atom in its crystal lattice structure.
Only one covalent bond.
