	Covalent bond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Covalently bonded hydrogen and carbon in a molecule of methane.
		Covalent bonding is an intramolecular form of chemical bonding characterized by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two components, producing a mutual attraction that holds the resultant molecule together.
		Pure covalent bonds (which are usually non-soluble, are electrically non-conductive, and tend to exist as individual molecules), and ionic bonds (which are soluble, are electrically conductive when molten or in solution, and, in general, tend to exist in a crystalline form) are on two opposite ends of the spectrum and have different properties.

		Covalent bonding is a form of chemical bonding characterized by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between atoms, in order to produce a mutual attraction, which holds the resultant molecule together.
		Covalent bonds are more common between non-metals, whereas ionic bonding is more common between a metal atom and a non-metal atom.
		An example of a double bond is nitrous acid (between N and O), and an example of a triple bond is in hydrogen cyanide (between C and N).

		Covalent bonding is a form of chemical bonding characterized by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons, by two atoms, in order to produce a mutual attraction; atoms tend to share electrons, so as to fill their outer electron shells.
		Covalent bonding most frequently occurs between atoms with similar electronegativities, where neither atom can provide sufficient energy to completely remove an electron from the other atom.
		Covalent bonds are more common between non-metals, whereas ionic bonding is more common between two metal atoms or a metal and a non-metal atom.

	Coordinate covalent bond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A coordinate covalent bond (also known as dative covalent bond) is a special type of covalent bond in which the shared electrons come from one of the atoms only.
		Coordinate covalent bonds are formed when a Lewis base (an electron donor or giver) donates a pair of electrons to a Lewis acid (an electron accepter) and the resultant compound is then called an adduct (a compound formed by the addition reaction between two molecules).
		Coordinate bonds can be found in many different substances, such as in simple molecules like carbon monoxide (CO), which contains one coordinate bond and two normal covalent bonds between the carbon atom and the oxygen atom, or the ammonium ion (NH), where a coordinate bond is formed between a proton (a H

	Chemical Bonds
		Covalent chemical bonds involve the sharing of a pair of valence electrons by two atoms, in contrast to the transfer of electrons in ionic bonds.
		Covalent bonds in which the sharing of the electron pair is unequal, with the electrons spending more time around the more nonmetallic atom, are called polar covalent bonds.
		Hydrogen bonding differs from other uses of the word "bond" since it is a force of attraction between a hydrogen atom in one molecule and a small atom of high electronegativity in another molecule.

	The Covalent Bond
		A single covalent bond is a bond in which two atoms are held together by sharing two electrons.
		Covalent bonds form between atoms when ionic or metallic bonding is unlikely because the gain or loss of electrons requires large amounts of energy.
		A covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally is called a polar covalent bond; one atom acquires a partial negative charge (d -) and the other acquires a partial positive charge (d +).

	Notes on Covalent Bonding
		Covalent bonds: formed from sharing of two electrons, usually one donated from each of the two bonding atoms.
		One of the simplest bonds is between hydrogen and chlorine.
		Carbon atoms will always have 4 bonds, either as 4 separate single bonds, or a combination of single, double and/or triple bonds so that there are 4 pairs of electrons around each carbon atom in the molecule.

	Covalent bonding and Dative Covalent bonding
		A covalent bond involves a balance between attraction and repulsion.
		Ionic bonding generally occurs between elements with a large difference between their electronegativities, eg a metal and a non-metal.

	Covalent Compounds
		Bonding between non-metals consists of two electrons shared between two atoms.
		Using the Wave Theory, the covalent bond involves an overlap of the electron clouds from each atom.

	co-ordinate (dative covalent) bonding
		A co-ordinate bond (also called a dative covalent bond) is a covalent bond (a shared pair of electrons) in which both electrons come from the same atom.

		Carbon monoxide can be thought of as having two ordinary covalent bonds between the carbon and the oxygen plus a co-ordinate bond using a lone pair on the oxygen atom.

		The first dissents to the polar bond orthodoxy began to appear in 1913 and in 1914, J.J. Thomson, the father of the ionic (or polar, to use the old style word) bond, himself became an apostate.
		Thomson thought of the nonpolar bond this way: there was a tube of force (an attractive force) between the electron of atom A and the nucleus of atom B. However, the bond must be nonpolar, so only one electron cannot be involved.
		His idea is very close to the modern covalent bond and Thomson might today be known as the discoverer of the covalent bond, but for one mistake.

		Although Lewis originated the idea of the electron-pair bond, much of the credit for its early acceptance must go to Irving Langmuir, who extended it somewhat and enthusiastically popularized it to the extent that it began to be known as the Lewis-Langmuir theory, and even (to Lewis' annoyance) as the “Langmuir theory”.
		Bond length measurements are entirely consistent with this interpretation; they are almost exactly halfway between the values found in compounds known to contain single and double bonds.
		The details of this bonding arrangement are discussed in the section on the hybrid orbital model of bonding.
