What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Front

What is the significance of electronegativity in covalent bonding?

Back

Electronegativity determines how equally electrons are shared between atoms in a covalent bond.
