Substances that consist of covalent molecules are usually gases or liquids at room temperature. Ionic bonds are formed between a metal and non-metal, for example, sodium chloride. Outer electrons ...

The difference in electronegativity between two bonded atoms determines the bond's polarity, with a large difference indicating a polar covalent bond (e.g., H-F bond) and a small difference indicating ...

Prior to 2000, many drugs that formed a covalent bond with targets did so non-selectively, which often led to undesired side effects when compared to non-covalent drugs. This led to the belief that ...

According to information from the scientific journal Nature, a covalent bond that requires only a single electron is the first new type of chemical bond to be discovered in over ten years.
