Covalent Bonding! (Definition and Examples)

    You explain it better than my old teacher could. For us "scientific laymen", the skill of the teacher transferring a concept in an understandable manner is almost non-existant 😑. It's not for a lack of participation on the student's part at first, a lot of teachers old and new, lack that particular skill to make them a "good teacher".

    the type of bonding that happens between two or more non-metal. in this bonding, electrons are shared not transfered, it's not about giving up electrons. atoms will also be neutral or have partial charges, no full charges, which is contrast with ionic bonding.
