Covalent Bonding
Covalent bonding is a bond between non-metal with non-metal.
It is different from Ionic bonding because, ionic bonding is a bond between metal and non-metal. In ionic bonding, the ions metal
donate the ions to the non-metal to make a complete valence shell, while in
covalent bonding the, the ions share the electrons together.
There are single bonds, double bonds and triple bonds.
Double bonds can occur between 2 atoms of oxygen, and triple bonding can happen
between two atoms of nitrogen. Covalent bonds doesn’t involve charged
particles.
