A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons, resulting in a stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces.
Ionic Bond: This is another type of chemical bond that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
Polar Covalent Bond: This is a type of covalent bond where there's an unequal sharing of electron pairs due to differences in electronegativity.
Nonpolar Covalent Bond: This is a type of covalent bond where there's an equal sharing of electron pairs because both atoms have similar electronegativity.
