What Are Covalent Bonds

This video explains covalent bonds, their formation, and characteristics. It contrasts covalent and ionic bonding, describes nonmetals' role in covalent bonds, and illustrates how to represent these bonds. The video also covers types of covalent structures, including small molecules and giant compounds like diamond, and discusses allotropes and examples of covalent compounds.

How do giant covalent structures differ from small covalent molecules in terms of bonding?

What are the physical properties of compounds made from small covalent molecules?

What is the role of allotropes in understanding covalent bonding?
