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

Front

What is ionization energy?

Back

The energy required to remove an electron from an atom.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds are formed from ionic bonds and typically have high melting points, while covalent compounds are formed from covalent bonds and usually have low melting points.
