Covalent Bonding

The video explains the significance of nonmetals like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen in forming molecules essential for life. Nonmetal atoms typically bond to form molecules, either as elements or compounds. The process of covalent bonding, where atoms share electrons to achieve full outer shells, is detailed. Examples include chlorine forming single bonds and carbon forming multiple bonds, leading to complex organic molecules.
