Covalent Bonding
Term: Covalent Bonding
Category: Chemistry
Definition: Covalent bonding is a type of chemical interaction. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms. This helps the atoms become more stable by filling their outer electron shells. Covalent bonds can be single, double, or triple, based on how many electron pairs are shared.
