A covalent bond is formed between non metal atoms, which combine together by sharing electrons. Covalent compounds have no free electrons and no ions so they don't conduct electricity.

This section of the lesson module focuses on covalent bonds, which are formed between non-metal atoms that share a pair of electrons. It includes links to a video and a test. Other types of chemical bonds are covered elsewhere in the...
